Western Railroad Discussion > Question about Metro East Industries property in E.St.LDate: 11/10/11 17:15 Question about Metro East Industries property in E.St.L Author: Milwaukee I notice that Metro East Industries has a turntable on their property and there is a large yard as well. Did they construct the turntable or is there a history to the property that someone can share?
