Re: LSRC 304, Y393, Y394
I sort of figured the Wiki page was a little inaccurate. Thanks @AARR and @SD80MAC!

LSRC 304, Y393, Y394
The Wiki entry for Lake State Railway says: 304 goes from Grayling to Pinconning then returns. I assume it switches Kawkawlin and Standish? Y393 (day) and Y394 (night) switches Grayling, heads to Gaylord to switch, returns. This suggests there are at least three locomotives that call Grayling home. ...

Arlo Steel in Grayling
Arlo Steel has a dedicated track in Grayling which looks quite new, but Arlo is not listed on the Wiki page of LSRC customers. Anyone know what they ship or receive, and what kind of railcars they use?

Re: Refrigerated Box Car Customers in Eastern MI
Nice photos. Thanks Andy24, and thanks for the extra information SD80MAC - I'm planning to model Twin City Foods on my model railroad so the photos and info are really useful for me to find the right Refrigerated Box Cars to buy (and probably repaint...)

Moisture-resistant particleboard - that makes sense!

Re: Arauco in Grayling
@Doktor No: Thanks for the video! The section at the end showing them loading particleboard and Prism TFL into boxcars is definite!
Now we just need to figure out what the bulkhead flat cars are for...

Re: Arauco in Grayling
Summary so far:
Inbound tank cars with resin, exclusively from Bakelite.
Boxcars used to ship particle board to keep it dry.
Bulkhead and/or centerbeams still a question mark.

Arauco in Grayling
The Wiki page shows Arauco using Boxcars/Bulkhead Flatcars/Tank Cars. I know that tank cars with resin come from Bakelite (formerly Georgia Pacific) just down the tracks. Do they get anything else in tank cars? And what travels in the boxcars and bulkhead flatcars (and is it inbound or outbound)? I ...

Lockhart Chemical files for bankruptcy
Lockhart Chemical in Flint filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Oct 7, 2022. Have they have already shut down and Lake State Railway is no longer servicing the location?
