Its on the west side of lansing. The interlocking west of snow and east of cory. West of mill its m1 and east of it is the service or whatever they're calling it this week. Its pretty close to mp 215 on the Flint sub. Its between i69 and 96. The crossings closest are crytes rd and billwood hwy.

Purina actually gets quite a few cars. I think they're serviced at least a few times a week. Biewer lumber also gets daily service I believe. Universal forest products on snow roads gets regular service too.

Eb manifest with a single cn by 205 at 1958. 178 axles headed for m1 to hold at maple for their turn at cory.
