I haven't seen Pontiac Metals or the Pontiac scrap yard switched in a month or two. Has anyone else seen any rail activity at these two places?

R934 is working the Purina Mill at Millet Hwy/Lansing Rd at the west end of snow Yard. Picking up two n setting off two.

They also have at least ten lumber flats for Biewer plus some boxcars and will work that next before headed to Cory to begin doubling up all the pickups tonight.

As they pulled out of the mill, WB A491 rolled by on the main.
