New Albany, IN activity?
Author: P

I've heard rumblings of activity about trackwork in New Albany (former Monon).  Didnt the Pillsbury plant close that used rail service at it's plant in the northern part of town?  What is going on that may stimulate trackwork?

Yes, the former Pillsbury plant got sold. New owners WILL use rail. CSX will rehab line from Vernia south.

Hooray! Signs of life on the southern-mist part of the former Monon RR.

Some interesting trackage, of course, including a lengthy street running segment.  It looks like several crossings were tore out since the last train ran the line.  Those will be expensive to restore.  What kind of rail activity is expected?

Northwest Ordinance Distillery took over the old Pillsbury plant about a year ago. They are primarily a bottling plant owned by Sazerac and are quickly growing and need rail for continued growth. Inbound Alcohol appears to be primary commodity to be handled but may be opportunity for some grain in and ddg out if distilling operations take place there.

Here is a look at 15th and Beeler St August 25 2018. It lloked to us like the city may have taken out a couple sections of track.
