Re: Jackson, MI Q&A
I'm seeing them pass my shop off South St. around 3:30 in the afternoon and coming back an hour or so later. I would guess they leave the yard 1:30-2. Not sure if they work Dawn Foods at the same time since I have not seen them take any covered hoppers with them down the branch

Interesting. I wonder if Gerdau is using rail at all? I know melting and casting operations were idled in 2020.GrandTrunkFan wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 2:29 amI have not seen or noticed anything for GerdeuAARR wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 6:28 pmThank you NS3322. You're doing a nice job with the Wiki. I update it too but usually post at the Website Threads before doing so to confirm the information.
The Wiki is very good but doesn't go into how many cars each customer ships. That's what I was hoping to learn from Nick.NS3322 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 5:24 pmAll that info is on the Wiki:

I believe they only were receiving gondolas and specialized covered hoppers.
Dawn Foods should be a M-F daily switch.

They loaded metal dust in the covered hoppers. I don't know what they shipped in gondolas.
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...
