Re: Former bayer facility in Muskegon
Seems unlikely that they would ship or receive by rail, but it would be cool if they did
Re: Former bayer facility in Muskegon
Is this the plant north of Muskegon?

Correct. This is the Bayer then BASF facility that used to have a wiki entry stating they received "More than AARR would expect."
Located off of Whitehall road near Berry Junction.

Looks like more loss of business for the Michigan Shore. That line seems to be the hardest for G&W to keep business on.

This article says they are going to produce chromatography resins at the plant. That might involve inbound rail usage, but I am not certain. We'll find out in 2025/2026!

Re: Former bayer facility in Muskegon
Any updates on the plant and rail service to it?
Re: Former bayer facility in Muskegon
We really will not know until 2025 or 2026, when Life Sciences is expected to reopen the plant.Muskegonrailfan89 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 12:05 amAny updates on the plant and rail service to it?
https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/202 ... -area.htmlProduction at the facility is expected to begin in late 2025 or early 2026, and it’s expected to “ramp up” in 2027 and 2028, MEDC officials said.
