Chelsea Mills / Jiffy

Unread post by AARR »

No cars on either spur today. Is that normal?

Which side is loading spur (east or west) and which unloading?

On the other side of the tracks (east side) is another spur that goes through a shed attached to silo's. So is the spur you video'd for loading and the spur on the east side for unloading?

I dont know what spurs are used for unloading/loading. The video just gives a trackview of Jiffy.

The cars were on the NORTH side of the tracks (Geez AAARRR, doesn't that fancy car of yours have a compass on it :?: )....

Currently, all railroad traffic for Jiffy is handled on the north side; haven't seen any cars on the south side of the main for what seems like forever. Jiffy did add about 6 new silos on the south side this past year---was an interesting process to watch

From what i have seen, cars on their spurs can be hit or miss.
