Two spurs in Novi

Unread post by mach69 »

What's the deal with the two spurs in Novi? There's one going into Somnio Global but that hasn't seen any cars in God knows how long. Anyone know what they received and when they quit rail (if they did)?

There's also another one located just west of where the LSRC Saginaw Sub crosses Novi Road that is definitely disused. After doing some digging on rrpicturearchives.net, my guess is that spur was removed around 2011 or 2012. Could someone confirm this, and also who did it serve and what did they receive?

The company prior to SG received/shipped occasional large equipment (plastic injector machines).

The other spur used to extend south to a Johnson Control plastics plant. It hasn't been used in a very long time.
