Found out that agroliquid announced a production facility, a rail served one over near lake city fla earlier this year. https://nflp.org/news/article/agroliquid-announces-plans-for-new-production-facility-in-lake-city-florida#:~:text=03%2F06%2F2024&text=AgroLiquid%20announces%20the%20upcoming%20cons...

Don before the expansion and on a regular basis agroliquid sees 2 to 3 switches a week but the seasonal times of spring and fall are the busiest times of year. In these busy time periods they will get 8 to 15 cars at a time and just 3 to 8 during the offseason. they do ship loads out to other agro f...

Lots of conversation about the GLC lately and their big customer Zeeland farms. well ironically enough they have another customer that always seems to be flying under the radar in the railfan world. I for one am a big stickler when it comes to stuff like this but our man don simon is the rail custom...

Now that is sweet!

I bet the ranch that this kid was no railfan...maybe he was acting as an operative posing as a railfan.

Ok can some of you guys do me a favor and stop trying to bring up that rediculous AT2 passenger train study. I just want to scream whenever its mentioned. please stop

Which connecting road will they ship the most traffic too? the ns at Adrian? or IORY at Riga? or

Are you the one who created another Michigan Shore page when there is already a Michigan Shore page?

yeah thats a problem, can zack fix it?

What wall did LSRC supposedly hit?? Seems like they are OK, so far ..?? oh yeah, i agree. They are doing a ok but have you seen their newsletter lately? until early last year or 2022, they would always report about lineside customers etc...and lately it seems like the newsletter is lacking something.

I still dont understand. How did HESR a gwi subsidiary go from being a mediocre operation to leapfrogging the GLC and now even LSRC to being the top dog not only in the thumb but all of east central and north central michigan. GLC seemed to hold thier own after they moved thier operations over to ow...

This is bizaare, are they going to tear out the MMRR track and yard in Alma including the connection and Y? And does this have anything to do with Rickoff being out at LSRC? I thought the LSRC was growing and gaining customers?

Dont forget about the connection with the IORY at DIANN but that is a quagmire too.

New industry is locating to Fostoria and the one that located where the old Thyssenkrup plant used to be makes vinyl tile and flooring. They are NOX and they located there from South Korea, Sometime in the past couple of months excavation began on installing a two track spur behind the plant off the...

For AARR, the newest customer a methanol refinery popped up last year or so over in the Dunbar area in Charleston wva area. LIberty One is the customers name.

Not really Brett, i havent been out that way in awhile. althought i have been to bucyrus-galion-crestline as of late and it sucks that their tearing out more of the siding on the fort wayne line.

That is true, at least not yet. Maybe ns could sell to the Ashland or another terminal railroad, although asry has thier own transload on the north side of town. Interesting because the plastics plant has been there for about 2 years and so far have not used rail service and there are no existing ra...

While we are at it, a few weekends ago I went to the Richland Co. fairgrounds. On N Home Rd, the old Erie crossing was paved over, which given that the GM plant closed in 2010, is not surprising. Are all the yard tracks still in place to the west, as they appear on Google Maps? Yes because a plasti...

Does anyone know their latest schedule for the Delta crews run up to Flat Rock and back? Also, a buddy of mine saw them using two of the new GE’s on that run recently. Supposedly a new train symbol L231 but the operation remains the same. An every other day operation say, two to three days a week.

I have a question about the AA and IORY interchange tracks at DIANN jCT IN Michigan. Does any traffic from zFS from Ithaca and GLC ever make it down that way to be interchanged with the IORY? And a couple of years back there were supposed to be two extra sidings put in between the two roads and a cu...

We've all seen the downgrading and cut backs of our beloved DTI se michigan in recent years like....sidings torn up, shortened, Diann Jct downgraded along with the demo of the tower and other things.And for awhile we all thought that Flat Rock Yard itself was not long for this world, at least in its...
