Re: Michigan Rail business news redux

Seems like I see a couple cars a week in the yard for Amway. I know there was at least 1 this week.

GRE west thru Ada 11:42 with 10 King empties and the 1 Poly car
13 cars were seen on the WB at Ann St. Also MQT NB had ~140. My source said the last 80 or so looked like grain hoppers probably for Newaygo.
