Last I heard Atlantic hadn't shipped by rail in a while. If so this is good news with maybe more to come. Their indoor spur holds five 50' box cars. They have another outdoor spur on the south side that doesn't seem to get used that I know of.

They are getting worked 5 days a week currently, crew does on duty at 7:30. They are leaving cars all around the diamond currently and it looks like the plant is expanding. They don't ship cars anymore it appears, but they are definitely receiving cars.AARR wrote:Last I heard Atlantic hadn't shipped by rail in a while. If so this is good news with maybe more to come.

Yeah it sounds like Graphic Packaging was getting worked maybe once or twice a week. Some of their customers don't see much business but they are there.

Thank you SD80. I try to track, whenever possible, what types of cars customers receive.
