Re: (erielack) 'race plastics" on Totowa Industrial Spur
The Indianapolis Water Company, which was on the rail line operated by
the Indiana Transportation Museum, received chlorine by rail, about 1
car every 4 months. It decided to go to dry chlorine by truck. The
water treatment plant serves about half of Indianapolis's population, so
it's a fairly large facility.
