[CBQ] Hot move @ Eola

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Russ,
 
General Mills at West Chicago is running as it has since 1957 or so. They  
just don't use rail except for bulk inbound materials. It was in the early 80's 
 
under trucking deregulation that the plant cemented over the tracks in the  
distribution center and converted those areas to truck docks. There is a rumor  
that the plant will close in next 3 years or so. When General Mills bought  
Pillsbury they got a brand new plant in Geneva that they immediately closed so  
they can go to that new facility anytime. My neighbor has worked at the West  
Chicago plant for the last 10 years. 
Hard to picture those scores of box cars coming out of there every day any  
more. 3 jobs a day,6 days a week and extras on Sunday. All gone.
