Clyde and the Findlay plants have rail access and it appears they both receive inbound covered hoppers with plastic pellets. Marion plant appears to no longer have rail access.

They were large trains ran by a pair of ex PRR Geeps running long hood forward either direction with a caboose on the end, now, the Whirlpool yard is about nothing and all the traffic is by rubber tired equipment.
