Re: MaW Daily Reports
Neither ADS or Oldcastle ship via the rail. Only recieve. Oldcastle ship OTR. With occasional loading of containers. ADS has its own fleet of flatbed trucks that will deliever the coils of tube. Also they ship the rigid via flatbed trailers as well. But none by rail.

I'm sorry for doubting you guys. They're running some nice sized trains into Napoleon.

Re: MaW Daily Reports
They always have had plenty of traffic, they put very little into maintainance, employ very few people and the ones they do employ work for peanuts, so where does that money go????

Re: MaW Daily Reports
Boxcars are almost exclusively Campbells soup. The boxcars go to Cloverleaf, Reefers (when they come by) go to Interstate Cold Storage. Covered hoppers will go to ADS or Oldcastle-Carson.

Re: MaW Daily Reports
Inbound loads I presume. Any ideas what they're receiving? And if they're receiving 15+ box cars per day why don't they set up a bulk transfer and receive covered hoppers or tank cars instead?AC60CW wrote:Boxcars are almost exclusively Campbells soup.

Not recieving, they are shipping product out. Everything they recieve is by truck. Alot of it is truck in from local farms. Yes, the celery, corn, carrots etc. are all fresh when they are made in to soups. Until about 7 years ago even enything that had tomatoes were using fresh tomatoes. BUt since have gone to tomatoe paste. With prediced tomatoes in juice being used for anything that has chucnked tomatoes, ie. Pace picante sauce or Prego spagetti sauce that has diced tomatoes as well. The V8 juices made out there use fresh veggies as well.

Re: MaW Daily Reports
Campbell's has used paste tomato product to supplement the locally grown product for 30+ years at least. The DT&I recieived reefer loads of paste in interchange from both the PC & N&W @ Delta as far back as the early 1970's'
