The MA&N will soon have a new customer in Rome located in the Griffis Industrial Park. A company is constructing a huge building Northeast of where the Adirondack Scenic has their shop. This company will be manufacturing and bottling cooking oils there. The oil which will come in by train is expected to produce around 200 cars inbound/outbound per month at its peak.
The plant has a 5 track stub end yard along with a run-around. The MA&N will bring in these trains and the yard will be switched using a GE 80 ton diesel which is a former USA unit already located nearby.
This will be a great shot in the arm for both the railroad and the Industrial park.
