Inbound loads for a tire factory

[FCIN]

and who doesnt love the smell of burnt rubber in the morning

Talk about bringing back the memories! I loved drag racing, but as close as I ever got was the '69 Roadrunner that I got when I was discharged from the Army. Nothing like a little street racing...

I saw on the Hoosier Tire web site that their headquarters is in Lakeville (looks like maybe a mile north of town). Again no railroad as it looks like whatever railroad used to go through Lakeville has been abandoned for several years. I've been to Plymouth a couple of times, but never saw the plant or knew that it was there. When I started looking for it on Google, I was rather surprised that there wasn't a rail spur going to it as the railroad line is pretty darn close to the plant. Look's like a small operation considering their popularity.

Never made it to Mishawaka, but had planned on going there some years ago when the Indiana Interstate took over the line going to/through there. Unfortunately, they quit before I made the trip.
