    Looks like a lot of cement traffic based on all the short covered hoppers scattered everywhere.

    That's what I was thinking. But I cannot think of any specific company. I tried some Maryland Midland locations, but that's not it.

    Argh. A bit of research shows there are cement production facilities in thirty eight US states! How to narrow that down?

    Okay, here's a little help to narrow down the search.

    Rule out every other state according to the alphabet, starting with the letter B, then D and so on. Hope you get the point.

    I thought that was a clue to the Akron and Barberton Cluster Railway, but the matchstick plant is long closed and they only have the one SW1500

    Ha Ha yeah well, I didn't think that qoute could be a clue, but I was refering to my post before that, so that's not it, neither eastoff ottowa IL.
    So keep looking...

    I assume that B is the first to rule out, so... Well, there are no States starting with the letter E, Q or Y. That thins it down very slightly.
