Late night Holland/Zeeland industry report: 3 tankcars on the spur at Sherwin Williams. The ROW has been clearedish for the new spur into the expanded Coastal Container plant north of 48th but they have quite a ways to go before any rail will be laid. It looks like it will be an internal loading dock, along the north side of the new building.

In Zeeland, 2 covered hoppers are on the Plastcore spur. Erickson’s made good progress on Friday loading the transformer onto 12 axle KRL 300300 but the car is not ready to move yet. The 8 axle continues to stand by. Zeeland Lumber is empty.
