I think 300 is about right, though we are actively pursuing more. A bit of a windfall right now is a one time order for 130 cars (!) of heavy oak beams, thankfully not all at once, though we are seeing perhaps ten cars per week.

Discussions have started about adding a second diesel to the roster, but nothing has come of it yet. I keep lobbying for a DD-40, but nobody wants to hear it.
