Does the Alcoa plant in Dover get cars? Did it ever?
Thanks!

Unless I'm mistaken, that's where it is...

Way way way back they did.... we're talking CNJ/DL&W days. I don't even think it was Alcoa then. They've never gotten a car from the M&E.

Not really. The volume isn't there. They do a lot of one-off parts, using small quantities of materials. So there's not a lot of potential for either inbound raw materials or outbound finished products.

I see you know your territory Rudy...hopefully M&E can expand alongside NS's route divestiture plans, I'm sure you could pull in more traffic.
