That's interesting. Only a couple of weeks back, I caught a COER gondola of scrap coming through this vicinity. First time I'd even thought about that operation in ages. I wonder what Progressive has in mind?

 

There is an area that is ideal for an industrial park. Plus, the railroad is close to I-55, so there are plans to aggresively campaign for a transloading site there.

 

Think I'll look for a map of their "system" to see what all is being operated.
