The Ethanol Plant on CSX in Woodbury is getting rail cars again. I haven't seen any there in a few years. Looked like 3 hoppers on two different tracks. It is hard to see exactly how many from M-66. I have seen this a couple times in the last two weeks.

Just getting cars for the left-over pulp from processing corn into ethanol...that's all...

A lot of DDG moves by rail from many ethanol plants. In some places more DDG is shipped by rail than ethanol.

But considering they're only processing via truck, you'll only see a car or 2 every so often, unlike other plants that may produce far more due to getting whoel unit trains (though I wonder if that's true, with EHH mixing freight with grain trains these days....

No cars there today that I could see, but it was getting dark.
