Sturgis Michigan on the MSO
Sturgis Michigan on the MSO
Existing customer of the MSO has added an additional siding just off Bogen Road & Nottawa , This siding runs E-W and runs almost all the way to Nottawa. This is Good ! Looked like Pioneer is doing the work. Frank Miller & Sons is the customer on the very south end of the Sturgis Industrial lead track.

Re: Sturgis Michigan on the MSO
I read Frank Miller gets deicer and salt. Also read they get monthly shipments. Can anyone confirm or correct?

I saw MSO working down near the State line on Monday. Unfortunately I couldn't get a pic.

The new siding runs perpendicular to the mainline

Looking south on the former GR&I Mainline, the siding that is visible is the original siding

MSO had two engines parked over labor day at the end of the line by the toll road.
Re: Sturgis Michigan on the MSO
I see on google maps they appear to be trans loading hoppers of salt or sand? Anybody know anything about this?

Re: Sturgis Michigan on the MSO
I think it's either salt, calcium chloride or something like that. They advertise a environmentally friendly icemelt. I heard they get a few cars a month.

Sodium, calcium, and potassium chlorides and which they repackage in various combinations for icemelt. They also sell urea for ice melt. All from their website.

In the past occasional inbound feed and fertilizer transloading has taken place in WP
