No cars on either spur today. Is that normal?
Which side is loading spur (east or west) and which unloading?

This video I took on Amtrak 353 on October 8th will answer any questions.

Re: Chelsea Mills / Jiffy
On the other side of the tracks (east side) is another spur that goes through a shed attached to silo's. So is the spur you video'd for loading and the spur on the east side for unloading?milineamtrak wrote:This video I took on Amtrak 353 on October 8th will answer any questions.

I dont know what spurs are used for unloading/loading. The video just gives a trackview of Jiffy.

The cars were on the NORTH side of the tracks (Geez AAARRR, doesn't that fancy car of yours have a compass on it )....
Currently, all railroad traffic for Jiffy is handled on the north side; haven't seen any cars on the south side of the main for what seems like forever. Jiffy did add about 6 new silos on the south side this past year---was an interesting process to watch

Re: Chelsea Mills / Jiffy
From what i have seen, cars on their spurs can be hit or miss.
