Transport committee Good question. There are a few things I want to mention. When we talk about freight cars, we have to look at North America, because it's not that at the border you change the rules or you change your car as they are going between the two countries. There are no boundaries there.

Transport committee This is the kind of business information we don't usually share publicly, because we have competitors and everyone has a certain capacity.

Transport committee In North America there are about four or five major tank car builders. The total capacity could be around—and here I'm just going with rough numbers—maybe 20,000 per year. Just another number, maybe it's interesting to you.... On some other issues we mentioned here, just to give you some numbers, between 2003 and 2012 it's recorded that there have been 14,229,880 tank car shipments just in North America.

Transport committee That's it. We are here for the technical part. I have some slides in my presentation, if you are interested I can show you the differences between legacy cars and good-faith cars. If you have any technical questions related to the design and manufacturing of railcars or freight cars, Max and I are here to answer those questions.
