Only customer I am aware of is the explosives plant at the end of the line that receives covered hoppers and tank cars. The scrap yard is an on-again - off-again customer and I don't know where they are shipping right now. check out the interchange at Winthrop (or is it Pluto???). they interchange by switch back IIRC because they don't have a pssing siding.JANGAJONGA wrote:Does anyone have any info on the operations or customer list of the MRR?

Pepin-Irreco is the explosives company that owns the track and Vreeland Rail Inc operates the trains. A&L opreates a scrap metal business but is not currently shipping by rail.Trains operate on an as needed basis. Here's a few shots from last fall.
