That's the same number of inbound/outbound cars for a session that I figured too. Since his Consolidated Container plant is a very rail intensive facility, probably 5 cars would be destined to that one plant, with maybe 1 for Eagle Foods which would not necessarily be a daily operation. Not every one of the inbound cars would spot, as some would be held for later unloading and of course some empties held for reloading with the scrap paper. With having to place/pull/re-spot/hold cars at Consolidated it should take a fair amount of time just to work that one industry.
Hey Ed,
I would have a maximum of 3 cars for the container company, 2 cars for the food company, and 1 car for the transload/storage track which I would make into a building supply.
Glad to see that you're up and about Ed
