120,000 lbs certainly isn’t the 160,000 lbs that Michigan has. I doubt it’ll change all that much, since it isn’t a huge increase and most users are local like farmers and construction.
Not much Michigan to Indiana rail traffic to poach...most of what there is has too much volume to be effective for trucks, such as a lot of the steel traffic.
