CN Holly Sub questions

Unread post by David Collins »

Humor me, but I barely know anything about industries on the Holly Sub. Does CN still do transloading with Velocity in Ferndale, and do they do transloading anywhere else?

Does L515 work any industries North/South of Milwaukee Junction on the shoreline/Mount Clemens Subdivision?

Nothing at Velocity that I know of

This is what I show as active Holly Sub customers:
Hamtramck – Sterling Oil & Chemical
Detroit – All America Plywood
Ferndale – Moterm
Ferndale – Gage Products
Ferndale – Bond Plywood: Infrequent
Royal Oak – Royal Oak Recycling / GFL
Pontiac – Inland Plywood
Pontiac – Lee Industrial: Infrequent
Pontiac - Bolyard Lumber Transload
Pontiac - Ferrous Processing
Waterford – Trailer Train
Waterford – Red Lava

Hopefully GM Orion will be added in the next year or two

One of the Pontiac jobs works the Mt. Clemens Sub from Milwaukee Jct. to Warren where they service Nolan Distributers and Cargo-Flo. There are a couple other customers in-between and they also work East Yard and interchange with DCON.

The spur was torn out before Zeeland moved in IIRC
