Mike, Con Agra purchased the Martins Creek Portland Cement Plant in Martin Creek, PA for the purpose of storing grain in silos. This is on the Bangor and Portland Branch. During the 70's they got 54 car unit grain trains. The grain storage facility is still operating under Cargill and is serviced by the NS. RailPace published an article on the B&P in the March 2001 issue which covered the current and past operation of the branch.
