Does Gordon Foods get service?? If so, do you know what type of cars?? Thanks.
Last time I’ve seen Gordon Foods with cars was last year. They had like 4 TBOX high cubes cars sitting on the siding track off the main track between 50th St and 44th St
That spur is for Padnos, not GFS.

What's a special commodity tank car? I just saw it thru Holland and I think yesterday's Q326-25 had that type car, too, that has no turret. Any idea what those carry?
Looks like refrigerated ethylene.
