Thank you for posting. I enjoy this kind of information.

Thank you for posting. I enjoy this kind of information.

I second this, it will be interesting to keep track of at time goes on.

I don’t think everybody appreciates just how much grain moves out of Michigan, especially considering the large chunk of our crops that are consumed locally as animal feed, especially on the west side.

Plus this is obviously only part of it, since there’s traffic moving via the LSRC and GLC on the regular also.

Here here. There’s a lot of grain trains that end up in Toledo from MI on CSX and NS.
