Hi All I went by Polverizor today (by Boat) and noticed what appeart to be a tamper sitting on the tracks that run into the cement plant and on toward Polverizor. I also saw a stack of Pannel track near there also.

I also looked for cars being loaded with sludge but I did not see any, how ever I did see a large pike ready to go.

There is a new customer who is shipping sludge out, seperate from Prowverlizer. :wink:

Wow a new customer? Did someone not send me the memo about hell freezing over ;-)

This is a new customer for CSXT, not Guilford. :-)

I'm almost certain that this is a "one-time" cleanup job, so it's not really a "new" customer in the sense that there will be ongoing shipments. Probably be over within a few months if not sooner.

On a more positive note, Prolerizer has put in a much bigger shredding machine over in Everett and expects to increase rail shipments quite a bit.
