Hi 1949, for other Albion customers see if these companies are shipping by rail. American Colloid (inbound clay), The Anderson's (inbound fertilizer and outbound DDG, ethanol & grain), Continental Carbonic Products (outbound carbonic from ethanol plant) and Georgia-Pacific (inbound cardboard stock).

Correct
That shot above is looking north along the Conrail SA Beltline on the left. with Universal Logistic (new rail customer) in the distance. The new crossing in the foreground is Miller Street and the farthest building on the other side of the Beltline and on northside of Heintz Street (next crossing north) is the ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks Americas. That new location is not appear in the google map yet.
