No Scott, I know they are not plastic. There is nothing like that made at the Rouge anymore. All of the interior parts are made either at Visteon's Milan...or Saline plants. All the ip's and bumpers (from Milan) are completed and shipped to the assembly plants. I know that from the scheduling work I do. <br /> <br />I was watching a string being dragged in today, and I think they must be going someplace very local, because I'm starting to recognize this one former scl hopper that's painted over just halfway up the car. It's always in the middle of the string, so where ever they go to and from, the string isn't broken. <br /> <br />I'm beginning to suspect something basic, like gravel or small stones or something. Maybe something used in construction? Or something hauled off to a nearby waste dump? Whatever it is, it's not dusty. Maybe it's sand? I think they might still make glass there. I'll check next week. Sand would make sense...lot's of local source's for that... <br /> <br />Today at the 10:30am inbound, they stitched 3 coil cars on the tail. That's not usual, but I've seen them there before. I came back from a meeting about 12:15, and the coil cars had been left inside the grounds. <br /> <br />Rich
