Followup from CWayne report of 9/11 about rail traffic again in Millington...I was there this afternoon, no tankers anywhere in town, or at the new brine well site. Flange ways on Murphy Lake Rd crossing depicts recent rail traffic, but downtown looked like nothing for a very long time. I would suspect that the run around track downtown would be in use for the new service. One other note...Millington elevator hasn't received rail service since winter of 2014. Upgraded MIOSHA regulations has put a stop to rail service at the elevator. Today, for what it's worth, there was a very tall crane working at the elevator, but I couldn't tell exactly what it was installing...we can only hope that maybe it is something to help expedite renewed rail service...fingers crossed please!
