We call it ‘China White’ and it’s good to see StoneCo receiving lots of cars in Lansing again. They’ve had 2-3 cuts of 12-15 cars at a time so far but 66? Awesome.

Anyway, apparently there’s a couple of grain cars off the end of one of the stub tracks at ADM Webberville. Someone shoved too hard thru the bumpers.

It’s visible from M-52
