Lake Orion branch active customers
Working on a video where there's a segment about the LO Branch. What customers still have rail service and how many cars do they get?

Isn't it just the Ferrous Processing & Trading scrapyard?
Not positive if Bolyard Lumber/Lumber Transload is that small spur off of Richard Ave or not. Here's the customer lists that should help you:

~Z~ is correct. FP&T and Bolyard Transload are the only customers.
FP&T seems to get switched on Wednesday afternoon or evening. Bolyard seems to get its car or two whenever they arrive in Pontiac Yard.

Re: Lake Orion branch active customers
The GM Metal division isn't shipping scrap out any longer? I thought they expanded in size and increased their trackage in the plant to handle more gondolas a few years ago?
Re: Lake Orion branch active customers
GM Metal hasn't shipped scrap in many years AFAIK. They were shipping a few cars a week of finished stampings to Arlington TX up until a year or two ago. Nothing since then. Their spur remains in place but inactive.
