Margaret,
Glad you are enjoying the updates. I see and learn something new each time I venture out too. Regarding the Granite Rock Sand Plant, I believe it is currently in operation. I have only heard from talk around town they were considering shipping by rail again. Nothing has been publicly announced. I think the SC&MB will be very successful reestablishing business that UP let wither on the vine. The MOW crew said they are very busy reestablishing rail spurs to businesses that were put out of service because the customers had switched to trucks. Now that it is becoming more cost effective to ship by rail the customers want their rail service restored.
