Fertilizer: (Satellite)

| Craig Hensley Photography posted A pair of CP units bring a cut of hopper cars to be unloaded at The Andersons in Webberville, MI. The facility is served by CSX with trackage off the Plymouth Subdivision. The train is broken down into smaller cuts to facilitate unloading, once all the cuts are unloaded, the train will be assembled and taken back to Plymouth for a different to crew to run south.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Craig's share Given all of the tank cars in this view, CSX must also deliver a lot of fertilizer to the tank farm that is just south of the elevator, https://maps.app.goo.gl/KvWf29hf9rkHeE4E8. Craig Hensley Photography: Dennis DeBruler correct! |
I found more fertilizer activity than grain activity in the street views. In this case there is dry fertilizer as well as liquid fertilizer. Note that the hopper cars have four bays instead of the three bays that are used for grain hoppers.

With all of this rail activity, I'd expect the elevator to have its own switcher, which it does. I also caught the end of their fall protector.

I noticed that Andersons sold their grain handling business like they did with their Champaign facility.
In this case it was sold to ADM.
