Eastern Railroad Discussion > CSX reducing switching frequency for General Mills Buffalo plantDate: 11/21/17 13:28 CSX reducing switching frequency for General Mills Buffalo plant Author: SouthBuffalo1 General Mills and ADM have to be CSX's biggest customers in the Buffalo area. They are reducing their daily switching to General Mills to once a day. Is this just a Thanksgiving Holiday change or a permanent thing? I included a link to a Buffalo News article.

Camera shy NYS Senator Chuck Schumer sent a letter to the Surface Transportation Board raising concerns on once a day switching.

But that does not preclude a transload operation that could be set up on NS, South Buffalo or Buffalo Southern, all of which are within easy striking distance of the Cheerios plant on the waterfront.

The idea of a "captive shipper" has certainly received a lot of attention in the chemical industry. |
