Implosion in Muskegon!

Too bad I have to work! Friend of mine lives less than a block from it with a perfect view from her house. Sad to see such a large plant go down but it will definitely open up a nice view of the lake. Anyone know if they are hauling out any of the debris by rail? I would ask my friend but she probably doesn't pay attention to that sort of thing.

No rail shipments. Tracks are all still in place as of last check, however.

Are you saying that you know they won't be using those tracks to move out the debris and scrap metal?

They have not moved any previous stuff by rail, so it is an assumption...you've got me there.

we watched them from the gate to the mulching plant. nice and close to the 500 foot blast zone and right on the tracks. I think Michigan shore is holding onto them in case any future companies ship via rail but I am not getting my hopes up.

Back when Sappi was shipping by rail they averaged 1-10 cars a day plus there is a warehouse in Muskegon that handles some of Sappi's inbound pulp and they averaged 1-5 cars a day (per Mr. Tops Muskegon Railroad Website
