Hi,

As I gather more information for my project, (Email me for a sneak preview) I hit another stumbling block...

The customers...

Who does the LA&L currently serve?

I know for a fact that they serve the following according to location:

Lakeville:

Sweeteners Plus
Team track (is it at the yard itself? if so where in relation to the engine house/shops?)

Avon:

Kraft Foods
Avon Feed (the siding looks to be in bad shape as if no cars have come that way for a while)
King Cole Bean (the siding looks to be in bad shape as if no cars have come that way for a while
Team track (is it still there? if so where?)

Rush:

RGVRRM (the museum at Industry)

Henrietta:

84 Lumber? (Is this R&S turf now? or has it always been an R&S customer?)

Matthews and Fields Lumber

High Point Mills? ( is that the right name? next door to M&F Lumber)

I feel as though there are more customers that I just don't know of...

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

Also what can be said for the B&H, ONCT, and WNYP?

There is an additional Avon area customer located just north of the Village of Avon line. This would be the agricultural transfer/storage business where the LA&L installed a new siding just recently. There were railcars on the siding just this past week!

I think I have shots of that. Are they the guys with the shiny new grain elevators?
