ckm Alan Larsen@ECT 11/29/2000 10:32 AM To: Barton Clark/HOU/ECT@ECT, Kay Mann/Corp/Enron@Enron cc: Jeff G Slaughter/PDX/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: Rail Thanks for your help. I'm thinking maybe I can write a country and western song about all this. Something like: "Slow train out of Texas, tons of steel a rollin'. Headed up to Colorado, CTs for natural gas a tollin'." Then of course, I'll need to get into beers and tears, and all the other necessary components of a good C&W ditty. Thanks again. Al Barton Clark 11/29/2000 09:30 AM To: Alan Larsen/PDX/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Rail Kay may be right about cargo like turbines, but I know in the coal business we heavily negotiated bulk commodity transportation agreements that governed our shipments, and it was not necessarily the railroad's way. However, for a one shot shipment, I think Kay is probably right, although we should have some leverage to get reasonable provisions re risk of loss, etc. ----- Forwarded by Barton Clark/HOU/ECT on 11/29/2000 09:28 AM ----- Kay Mann@ENRON 11/29/2000 09:26 AM To: Barton Clark/HOU/ECT@ECT, Alan Larsen/PDX/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Rail Since you both asked the same question, I thought I would send an email. The little I know about rail is that the railroads control the contracts. You do it their way. There is a lot of language in the LM contract concerning shipment, risk of loss, insurance, delivery. I haven't thought through it all, but these issues probably need to be considered. It may be best to work through GE on a change order basis to have them handle the shipment and storage elsewhere. Otherwise, we run the risk of having a dispute with them later about any problems or damage. I will be talking to GE this afternoon if you want the topic to be discussed then. Good luck! Kay
