Environmental Quality. They either ship waste liquids or receive them and recycle. Seems like a busy customer for DCON.

Re: Michigan Short Line Updates - March 2018
Bit of a late report.
Ann Arbor Railroad came into Milan from Osmer this morning around 10:30, made a crew change, doubled their train at Milan around 11:00 and proceeded south at around 11:30.
AA 2373 - GP39-3
WAMX 3904 - GP39E
AA 1337 - GP40-3
3 Bulkhead Flats
2 GATX 3 Bay Hoppers
1 89ft TTX Flat - Looked like the frame of an Autorack
DODX #40341 - This was a six axle flatcar! It wasn't loaded, I wonder what they'll load it with if it comes back north!
1 Boxcar
3 Hoppers
A few tanks
A Line of Grain Hoppers, a few being Ex-Soo Line and one being Ex- Ann Arbor Orange!

I think 1337 is rated at 3000 hp
It's cool that those ex-AA covered hoppers are still roaming around in their original paint
