Wiki - GLC Customers - Mid Michigan Specialty Crops

Unread post by AARR »

I added boxcars to they Receives/Ships column for Mid Michigan Specialty Crops. I have personally seen a boxcar there on a few occasions.

Does anyone think I am mistaken and should take it out? Did they stop shipping in boxcars?

GLC got a boxcar last year. It was that noteworthy that one boxcar was delivered. It was lumber I believe.

I’d remove it. It’s not happening.

I removed boxcars from the Receives/Ships column to Notes with the notation: Used to load an occasional boxcar

Compared to GLC's own website the Wiki customer list is more accurate than theirs. Com'n GLC, get your website up to date and into the 2020's!

AARR, I spoke with a GLC employee familiar with the operations at Nutrien AG Solutions in Henderson. They no longer use rail, as an equipment upgrade of some kind was required and it was not cost effective, especially with the nearness of the elevators in Oakley.
