Hopefully, no one is offended that I cross post this, but I believe strongly that this is what the internet is for, sharing of information, as long as it is appropriately credited.

Nothing wrong with that... You can also post the information that you learned, as long as you dont simply copy and paste.

Cuba Cheese has begun to ship with reefers. Transloading at the Cuba siding.

Are you serious about this cheese to reefers business?

Well, either it is really happening or these reefers are very lost

That is so cool! Does anyone have any idea how often they ship, I was always under the impression that Cuba Cheese was a smaller company that wouldn't have the capacity to fill many rail cars.

Not sure how many cars they get, but I have heard the WNYP going east of Olean more often lately than before though. I too thought they were a small company, but I was confusing them with the Cuba Cheese Shoppe; they only have a small building to warehouse cheese from the Great Lakes Cheese plant and sell it to the local area.

Cuba Cheese has always been large enough to ship by rail, even back when it first started, including its predecessors. And they don't always ship. They used to receive too - refrigerated goods for storage.

That must be my confusion as well, with the Cheese Shopee.

Yes, the Cheese Shoppe is a newer concern although the building itself comprised the original cheese factory in Cuba. This goes back to the 1880s when Cuba controlled the price of cheese and not Wisconsin.
