I'm unaware of any other smaller customers, but will let others comment if they know of any.There are a few customers on the Pope's Creek sub. There's a gravel pit just north of La Plata that receives trains three days a week, usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. This plant even has it's own switcher, a blue GP-7 or GP-9, with the name "Bardon" on the side.
