Applegate.


I think you followed my trip around the Thumb on Saturday, Michael. Croswell, Applegate and even Kinde!

For AARR, because I probably won't bother posting it anywhere else, there was a single covered hopper at the elevator in Kinde, south of the main complex (might be a fertilizer facility south of the main loading area?). Croswell had no cars at the new fertilizer facility and I couldn't see anything at the sugar plant. And, for the record, the tracks at Deckerville and Palms were completely empty. HESR 8802 was at the engine house in Bad Axe...

I believe you are correct about the fertilizer dealer next to the elevator in Kinde. There is another one a mile south of the elevator, an old Terra place that was acquired by a local guy and markets specialty fertilizers.

Good guesses. I should mention that the rails in the above photo are probably gone by now.

You got it Atrain!

It is hard to find Google Street view imagery of Michigan that isn't gray, cloudy, gloomy.
And it is all done in the Summer months too
