| Dennis DeBruler commented on Marc's post That is one of those Illinois towns were the volume of grain storage might exceed the volume of housing. (I used to say the number of bins exceeded the number of houses. But given the size of some of those bins, I had to change the metric.) The elevator is served by BNSF/CB&Q. https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4... |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Marc's post What are the six tank cars delivering? Fertilizer and/or herbicide and/or pesticide? https://www.google.com/.../@39.5524368,-89.../data=!3m1!1e3 Bob Summers Rail roads in our area are storing tank cars that normally carry oil products on sidings wherever they can due to the economic slow down and oil glut. Dennis DeBruler Bob Summers Interesting. I knew shortlines would store rather long cuts of cars on their tracks. It makes sense that railroads are now desperate enough to store short cuts wherever they can find some room. Brett Ellis Dennis DeBruler most likely what Bob is saying about storage. I don't think that location has a fertilizer terminal like some do. |
