Farmland Dairies

There appears to be a covered hopper parked at Farmland Dairies in Wallington on the Bergen County Line almost all the time. What is it for? Is Farmland a regular customer? Farmland produces various milk products, Welsh Farms ice cream mixes and (my favorite) Clinton's Iced Tea.

Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.

They get cars of plastic pellets which they use to make milk jugs.

Proven Theory #2 - If you don't work for the railroad, you don't know more than the people who do, no matter how many years you've hung around the tracks, or how well you think you understand railroading.

Thats amazing. I wonder how it even be cost effective for them.

How many cars of pellets do they get per week?
