Marquette rail is switching Quality Liquid Feed and dropping a load at Weeks lumber between 6 and 7 mile road southbound.
Re: Shortline Updates August 2021
Are the customers in this area switched by the road crew from Baldwin or a local crew?

Jail headed NB from Padnos back to Ensel at 10:50 AM. Have one boxcar from CN for Michigan Packaging. Also picked up four empty gons for Padnos from CN but dropped them there.
I did notice a gon set out at Reid Machinery last week when I drove by and forgot to make mention of it.
