AA in AA

[chapmaja]

Drove past Ferry "Yard" in AA today. The passing siding is again loaded with tank cars. They seem to be very short term storage on this line.

I know the AA is transloading crude in Dundee. Are they getting unit trains inbound and then storing throughout the system due to space constraints?
They don't seem to have a lot of excess capacity on the railroad near Toledo. and most other tracks I've seen have cars on them as well. Short term storage of the cars would make sense, as they could easily be picked up or dropped off as the AA trains run to Osmer. I don't know if the cars in AA are loaded or empty.

Yes both Samaria and Urania sidings have mostly storage cars on them....I don't know what the AA does with all the yard tracks by the Azalia Dundee Cement plant...There was someone on here when we discussed the Diann Siding that the ANNIE was going to put in a longer siding with more interchange tracks north of the diamond with the I&O
