Re: (erielack) Another EL Magazine Article

Its still a very major customer. Not sure how many
carloads it got a week during EL days but currently it
is seeing around 84 Grain Hoppers a week to the Mill.
There are also High Cube Boxes in the other Mill
farther north on 611 adjacent to the old Alpha Cement.

Conagra usually gets switched around midnight on
weekdays and if you are lucky can be found getting
switched during daylight hours on weekends.
