Lake Orion Branch questions
How many carloads was GM shipping out per day out of Lake Orion before they stopped shipping by rail? Did they have to run two separate trains out of the plant?

At their peak they would operate two trains per day between Pontiac and Orion with a full time switcher on duty in Orion Yard two shifts per day. During slower periods it was only one each.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
