Dennis DeBruler I'm glad to hear that biodegradable plastic is becoming real. I also like that it uses corn syrup. That should help keep the corn syrup plants working as people learn to quit drinking soda pop.

CB&Q used to have a branch that went to the UP/C&NW bridge. BNSF still has access to this plant.
