Remember them, when they closed the plant in Greenville? I bet that was a sad day for the town and the GRE. Looks like 3000 more people around the world will be sad when they get let go.

Re: A trip down memory lane/Electrolux plant
IIRC they moved the plant to Mexico.
When GTW and later Chessie serviced them they received coal, insulation chemicals, plastic pellets and outbound refrigerators.
Under MMRR they received insulation chemicals and outbound refrigerators, about a 1,000 cars a year.

They moved production to Mexico. That was during the Granholm years.
They had all sorts of incentives to keep them in Greenville, and Electrolux left anyway. She still talks about Electrolux all the time.

Electrolux also used the Elston-Richards warehouse on Patterson to store finished refrigerators. They used 86 foot boxcars -MMRR Greenville to Elmdale to Elston-Richards.

I think the last time I was inside the plant in Greenville it was called WCI for White Consolidated Industries that was in 1990 and there where boxcars spotted everywhere around the plant back then.
