Red Lava is the landscaping place Don mentioned. It is at Airport Rd, and is the last customer before Durand.

I thought the aluminum warehouse was on the Mt. Clemens sub.

SP 4449 at Carland was taken by Andrew Blasczyk on July 23, 2009. Posted on RailPictures.net.

If they'd left the P-32's in the Pepsi Can paint scheme they'd look like P-32's.
