CSX Train Location Updates - January 2021

[BL2-1843]

Thanks much for all the help from everyone on the exact location for Fortech at Green Oak, especially the Google Map link of the area by -Z- and the closeup from amessmann. Sure recognized all those roads I used to drive down everyday in my 32 years with Consumers Energy prior to 1999, and have not been by there since. Fortech looks to be at or near where Century Truss used to be after they moved from the south side of the tracks to the north side.
