Title: Car on Sipi Metals spur!
Post by: JohnColeman on January 26, 2008, 12:11:36 AM

There is an empty gondola car parked on the Sipi Metals spur, well inside of their fence.  I noticed it Thursday morning from the Metra and it was still there today (Friday).  If anyone can snap a picture it should be there at least all weekend.  

This is the first time I have seen a car there, and from what I read here,it may have been thought they were no longer using rail at all for the plant.  It\'s nice to see something happening there since Peerless is gone and Finkl is next...

I drove by on Saturday.  That is one sickly looking gondola car!

3 cars at Big Bay over the weekend.
