31M is running pretty decent length today. NS 8029 is our leader, and they have 55 cars out of Sterling today. Probably won’t be out until about 7AM today.

A general question for someone. I was reading today about FCA's new Jeep plant in Detroit. The aerial photo shows RR tracks adjacent to the facility, but not enough detail to show if any tracks actually enter the plant property itself. Would not be surprised if it will be 100% truck served.

I'm not aware of any tracks going into the plant. Inbound parts arriving by rail goes to a local warehouse by box car or internodal yard and is trucked in.
