So it seems like there’s been more of that recently. The other thing is that they have two tracks in Ensel Yard. They use one to store cars for businesses in Mason. There’s a place that buys sand and a propane transload. So they will keep the cars closer there as they tend to pick up and drop off in Ensel daily.
Thank you LRF.
If I'm reading this correctly JAIL is using Ensel Yard tracks for Mason-staging and transloading. With all the space in their own Saginaw Yard I wonder why they don't do it there?
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Because Saginaw Yard is further away?
Now they do seem to store for one customer cuts of LPG tank cars. They get in cute from CN and they do ship out via CSX to somewhere out East. Usually they will ship them out a third at a time. Get in 30, ship out 8-10 at a time. So they are a convenient holding place for this customer and interchange easily w both CN/CSX.
