I didn't realize Bristol Pipe had closed :o I railfanned it many years ago when it was operating 24/7. It's spur would usually have a string of 7-10 (???) covered hoppers in it.

The former Bristol Pipe spur was still in very good condition as of this past late spring early summer. They had been talking about some one moving in since about that time as well. Glad to see companies come back to the Elkhart area
