Escanaba & Lake Superior Customer List and Locomotive Roster

I again was looking through the Wiki on this site and discovered that the E&LS section was totally blank. I spent some time and got a locomotive roster up and what I think is a complete customer list. Let me know if there any mistakes or needed additions to any of the lists. I honestly thought that E&LS would have a lot more Michigan customers...

I like your lists NS3322
A few quick things:
- A few time a year "paint ore" is loaded into gondolas at Sidnaw
- L-P in Sagola also gets tanks cars of resin
- At Crivitz Jct. there is a LPG company that gets large tank cars
- OMNOVA in Howard is serviced by CN IIRC.
- I don't know if ST in Octono Falls is active although the spur is still connected
- I think the United Cooperative in Coleman is for fertilizer only
I'll look at my list later and compare notes

I'm fairly certain 5 Point Fab isn't a customer of E&LS.
Abrams ships out pulpwood occasionally to L-P in Sagola. This might be what you called Sobieski.
The fertilizer dealer in Coleman is Agventures
Lakes Gas is the LPG dealer in Crivitz Jct.
The predecessor to Tyco Fire Products (Pyro-Chem) in Marinette would receive an occasional tank car. It looks like the spur is still connected but I don't know if Tyco gets rail service.
I don't think Marinette Marine or Quality Assembly ship by rail.
There is a pulpwood loader in Channing. There might be two. Cars will be loaded at times next to the yard and other times near the switch on the original line to Escanaba.
