Southbound sitting by 10 Mile Rd. On Sterling Secondary. Looks like NS GP38-2 leading auto racks. Even though it’s not moving its lights are on.

There is a long string of frames on flat cars in Sterling Yard. Does anyone know which assembly plant receives these?

The new frame unloading site north of 17 Mile. This site can hold more cars than the site at Mound.

Used to be a lot of brick shipped into Detroit by rail. I'm not aware of anyone who gets brick by rail anymore in Detroit. Does the "Brickyard" receive brick?
