Any idea what days / times the Marcal mill in Elmwood Park gets switched?

That highway crossing tends to be well lighted for most of the day

Thanks!

Its switched when they have the cars to switch it.

"Its switched when they have the cars to switch it."


And, when the customer requests a switch. Like any other customer, on any line, they are serviced when they request service. We did it three times a week, when I was there, but this was not scheduled, it just fell that way, for the time it took to load out boxcars. The tank cars of chlorine were spotted less frequently, perhaps every other week, or so. Regards :-D
