| There were two customers on the Ithaca Branch north of the city: NYSEG at Milliken, which got three trains of coal every week, and Cargill, which had a salt mine just up the lake from Ithaca. Their freight was seasonal, with a surge from late fall into the winter. They were active all year, though, and the WAIT 2 crew has come back to Ithaca yard with a cut of loaded salt hoppers that will eventually be forwarded on to Gang Mills. |
