Hearing train horns in the distance of Wyoming 50th St area at 9:38am, maybe Grand Elk switching cars at Gordon Food Services?

Last time I’ve seen Gordon Foods with cars was last year. They had like 4 TBOX high cubes cars sitting on the siding track off the main track between 50th St and 44th St

That spur is for Padnos, not GFS.

Oh thanks. From the angle I stood at, it looked like GFS was being serviced. There was 4 TBOX High cubes sitting there, assuming pallets and cardboard are the items being loaded and unloaded there?

Assuming the wiki is still true, Magic Steel still being serviced by Grand Elk?

I’m also thinking the Zeeland Lumber company is still active with Grand Elk since I do hear train horns sometimes at night in the 54th St area
