The AA was heading north through Temperance today at 2:30pm with some grain hoppers and 2 log cars. They went through Milan at about 5:30pm, with the addition of 2 boxcars. I'm going to assume later they'll interchange the load with GLC

Those new 9000 series SD70ACe were built by EMD in Mexico. And people bragged that the closing of London brought jobs back to the USA...

Closing the London plant was bad enough, didn't know EMD was building in Mexico....makes it even a little uglier
