Re: Sappi's Power Plant Coming Down Sunday
Too bad I have to work! Friend of mine lives less than a block from it with a perfect view from her house. Sad to see such a large plant go down but it will definitely open up a nice view of the lake. Anyone know if they are hauling out any of the debris by rail? I would ask my friend but she probably doesn't pay attention to that sort of thing.

No rail shipments. Tracks are all still in place as of last check, however.intocable83 wrote:Too bad I have to work! Friend of mine lives less than a block from it with a perfect view from her house.

Are you saying that you know they won't be using those tracks to move out the debris and scrap metal?MQT3001 wrote:No rail shipments.

They have not moved any previous stuff by rail, so it is an assumption...you've got me there.J T wrote:Are you saying that you know they won't be using those tracks to move out the debris and scrap metal?MQT3001 wrote:No rail shipments.

we watched them from the gate to the mulching plant. nice and close to the 500 foot blast zone and right on the tracks. I think Michigan shore is holding onto them in case any future companies ship via rail but I am not getting my hopes up.

Back when Sappi was shipping by rail they averaged 1-10 cars a day plus there is a warehouse in Muskegon that handles some of Sappi's inbound pulp and they averaged 1-5 cars a day (per Mr. Tops Muskegon Railroad Website
