Couple Lima industry questions.
Couple Lima industry questions.
How is the traffic from the Husky Refinery split up? How much does CSX or NS get?
Also, off of CSX's main, east of the tank factory, there's something being built. Anyone know anything about this?

I believe that is the Potash facility to repair rail cars? I thought I saw a post on that awhile back but cant remember where

CSX and NS alternate back and forth on the amount of traffic they receive from the refinery. Some days it's weighted to NS, other days CSX, but, some traffic also goes to the I&O via their interchange with NS at Morris in Lima's east side. Look for lots of positive changes in the next 12 month. Both Potash and Husky are experiencing growth.
Speaking of Potash, the yard you see (which is 98% complete) is a storage yard for Potash cars. The situation is so clogged within south Lima yards they have opted to move their storage operation away from the area. The yard is five tracks wide and has a capacity of 125 cars,

I take it what I&O gets, goes to the CN?
I'm also assuming both CSX and NS have direct access to switch the plant?

Re: Couple Lima industry questions.
Both assumptions are incorrect.
I&O takes traffic north and south. Petroleum cole has been a big commodity lately. In addition, I&O hands off some traffic to the CF&E.
Neither CSX nor NS have direct access to the refinery complex. All switching is done via a contract switching company and then staged in either the NS yard or CSX yard for pick up.

Re: Couple Lima industry questions.
What sort of traffic has the I&O been moving south out of Husky? Back in the spring and then again in September they took 20ish loads of pet coke to Cincinnati to the Port of Cincinnati to move by barge.

Re: Couple Lima industry questions.
As I said above, pet coke still that Ive seen recently (read since 10/1) It's not a daily move but about every other week or so. I'll see if I can track down dates and other commodities. I've been noticing a lot of tankers recently too at Morris.

Is Corman storing crude oil tank cars for Husky on the old EL line by Elgin. I have seen them fill the line west of St Rt 81 with flameble placard cars then pull them later replace them with more tanks.

To go along with the ones that have been parked between Fort Recovery and Coldwater on the former L&EW that have been there for a long, long time.
