The ABC Railway comes into town 3-4 times monthly. Rittman, OH.
It is open as a diner Tuesday - Saturday 7a - 2p

It appears that one of the customers of the ABC Railway is the Morton Salt Company. The CSX/B&O route at the bottom of this excerpt is close to the plant, but it doesn't have a connection to the plant.
There are three freight cars spotted next to salt plant's long building.
Evidently those freight cars are high-cube box cars. Does the plant ship pallets of salt?
The B&O used to compete with the Erie for business at this plant. But in their singular focus on operating ratio and shareholders, CSX doesn't want to handle carload shipments.
