The Ferro Abrasives Plant on Willett Rd used to have a siding but then I heard they pulled it out, but I'm not sure so 84 Lumber might be the last one.

They usually come during the late morning/early afternoon, and it seems to be a Tuesday thing but not always. It seems like you would have to know someone to find out exactly when they run, since I've only seen them once in 15 years of waiting to take pics of trains on that line. Very tough to predict, very frustrating.Last fall on a Sunday morning we were tailgating at a Bills game on California Road by SW Blvd. A light engine switcher came through headed to OP. I was surprised to see that then
