Downtown Spur

Part of Lance Mindheim's visit also included the downtown spur. It turned out interesting yet disappointing news.

• FP&T has not had a single gondola in sight which doesn't look good, but they have a boxcar inside. What I do like about this is that you can model just about any possible scenario, ie. delivery of a machine, and it'll play well in real life.
• Cliff Berry Inc (tankers) had cars spotted
• Sun Gas had cars spotted
• Family and Son had cars spotted
• Trujillo and Sons had one car spotted. Mostly the usual...

 The big thing here is definitely expect the unexpected. A CSX worker apparently told him that on a good day, FPT will have loads, and on a bad day, they won't, and also they ship by barge. So the operations can be feast one day, famine another.

I'm assuming the irregulars didn't have any cars, but that Miami Iron had a good cut.
