a) What are the major products that the Ann
Arbor now carries back and forth from Toledo to their interchange point just north of Ann Arbor?
I believe that sand from Yuma is an important
commodity that is carried south.
There is no more sand business on the GLC (former AA). Foundry sand ended around 2013 when frac sand started but frac sand ended around 2016, started up again a few years later and ended for good less than 6-months after that. I would guess grain, including 85-90 car unit trains, is the primary commodity interchanged between AA and GLC.
b) Are there any many firms in Toledo for
which the Ann Arbor provides services? I thought
that they once provided service to a Jeep plant.
The two largest Toledo customers are Jeep (or whatever it is called now) and the GM Transload ramps. They also service another 8-10 Toledo-based customers including Toledo Harbor Warehousing (ex-NS, might be inactive at this time, was last used by Abitibi to transload scrap paper bales), Hanson Mueller (ex-NS, feed, fertilizer & flour), Ohio Blenders (alfalfa products), Libbey Glass (ex-NS, inbound glass raw materials), Zenith Energy (ex-NS, aviation fuel, biodiesel, distillates, ethanol, gasoline), Viking Paper and in the old DT&I Temperance Yard Agri-Trading (tallow?) and Hometown Foods (grains for food processing). They also recently picked up in Toledo a contract to switching the large Mondelēz International flour mill plant.
In Dundee the major shippers are CleanTech (outbound plastic pellets made from recycled plastic), American Refining (transload crude oil), Chrysler (or whatever they call it) engine plant and the old Dundee Cement plant which is used as a cement distribution site now.
