Blommer lower level stagnant
« on: December 31, 2015, 03:33:14 PM »
Haven't seen a hopper for many months, perhaps even a year. Also, the same tank car (UTLX 664377) has been on the spur next to the building for a very long time. It was, at one time, spotted over by the former Navy Pier spur but ended up back in its original spot next to the building.

Yes, Tom, that same exact tanker has been there several months. Today it was finally pulled and a new one set out. Guessing that's corn syrup in those? Does it take that long to deplete the supply, being that the car was there for months? Wonder what happened with the daily hopper loads they used to recieve.
As I write this, my son is eating nonpareils I picked up from Blommer.
