Thank you very much.
I think Mr. Perkins maybe wanted to ask how many eels are transported by rail from coast to coast over the course of the year. It's a bit of an inside joke for those of us who had to suffer the filibuster.
To our witnesses from the rail industry, I wanted to ask—you talked earlier, and we've heard this from other witnesses around the table—about the nature of the contracts that are signed between customers in, say, the grain or pulse industry and the railways.
My understanding is that the booking of cars can happen up to two years in advance and that railways make investments in capital plans based on projected demand from those growers, grain companies or whomever it is that you're ultimately dealing with in order to move that product.
I'm just wondering what the time horizon is in order to make back the money on that investment and when you would expect to start to see a return on the capital investments you make based on those projections.
