Currently 1616 & 907. 1001 & 911 in Elkhart and the Ludington & Northern NW in Kendallville. I think they have 2 units in northern Indiana with 2 more on the way for the ex-Monon they just acquired.

Don't forget about the units in Argos (Indiana). Last time I was in Argos, they had at least 2 units- 2045 and 1600.

Checked the Omni yard today track was full. What I could see thru the gate was CSX hoppers and silver ones with the 2 thin blue stripes running the length of the cars. Also they're a little shorter than todays hoppers but not as short as sand cars.
