M&J Lead is the spur in Zeeland where Zeeland Lumber and Vandenbosch are located.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2021
The huge train would be 140 cars (give or take three cars on each side of that count) About average for two days worth of trains. By Howell at 2:12 pm. 15 scrap tie loads on the head end for GLC, more further back with some stone loads and five empties for Ogihara.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2021
I know crews call it the “M&J” spur, but I’ve also heard it called just the MJ spur, which I think stands for Mead Johnson, which is where this spur originally terminated on the east side of Zeeland. D702 picked up on lumber empty at Z Lumber, set off zero. Happy to have the slug back, what did Barr do, change a light bulb
There is also one empty lumber centerbeam at De Leeuw Lumber in Holland.
