They may have a facility that could handle 100 cars, but it is had to believe they would have a siding with that much length to accomidate 100 cars at a time. It would need to be over a mile long(70’ x 100 cars = 7000 feet).

I am only speaking from my experience as a lumber broker that very few yards can handle a spot of more than 25 cars at a time. That is a lot of real estate.

Thanks for the info.

There is an existing multi-lane siding ~6,000 feet at a “small” tank farm on the south side of Albany, NY.

I doubt they are common, but they do exist.
