This past weekend, 6/5/2011, I saw ARMN refers outside a warehouse off of Hwy 65 (Central Ave) between 68th and 73rd. It looks like there are two spur tracks and both were filled with about four cars. Is this a new customer, or have I just never seen cars here before?

Thats on MNNR trackage that comes into Firdley where the CTM1 used to be right?

To be honest, I am not sure what CTM1 is, but I believe you are correct Matt. Head north on Central or Hwy 65 from 694, it is on the left just before the Target warehouse. The trains come from the east and pass by Medtronic and Cummings in Fridley and New Brighton.

The building I saw the refers parked outside of doesn't look in any way to be a cold storage facility. It is a simple, single-story brick building, with a couple of loading dock doors facing Hwy 65.

I think I know where your talkin, it dead ends right there at the warehouses, I have seen them in there a few times a couple of years ago.

The line heads east to the Armorry then turns south and comes right into the north end of the MNNR yard in New Brighton.

I shoulda just linked a map view from the beginning. http://tinyurl.com/3vfedzw you will need to zoom in once the page loads, but it will give you an idea of where it is.

[edit] I should also add, there is no signage or large lettering on the building or at its entrance to tell me who it is

Not a new customer. I've also seen some rail activity there for a couple years now. I have no idea what that place is.
