| Post subject: | Update |
Been a while since there's been a post on PGR. Some updates for you. 1. RSI will locate it's new plant on the DPL line in Bloomington and will host an open house this coming Saturday which will feature train rides. 9 am to 1 pm I believe. 2. Envirotech has broken ground on it's new plant in Randolph MN. 120 cars a month is the expected volume. Track and building will be up and running before Thanksgiving. 3. Wisconsin Northern has 2 new customers. The first is WRR at Bloomer WI, ships out liquid hazardous waste for cement plant fuel. Second is a frac sand plant in Norma. These two customers will add 3000 to 3500 carloads of business to the WN per year. 4. GCC, a cement company from Rapid City SD is shipping cement to Lakeville. DM&E cars are used, estimates are 350 cars per year. They have done 200 so far this year. That's all for now. Enjoy your sunday. Joe |

The traffic will come from UP as they serve the origin area for the salt materials they will transport |

Is it because of the train rides that I saw tank cars spotted on the bridge over 494 while driving today? |
