CP 5847         
Train Symbol CP run through Z511 (Toronto Agincourt -Kansas City) is westbound at milepost CH 30.2 of the CSX Plymouth Subdivision at Salem, MI. Time: 15:30, Date: 2/17/96.: BFI's Salem Landfill, one of the largest in the country, is on the left. The building in the distance is BFI's MRF (Materials Recovery Facility), which collects glass, tin, aluminium, newsprint, and cardboard. In 1995 CSX constructed an industrial spur into the MRF, which ships out bundled cardboard in CSX Waffle Boxcars. This is one of the steepest grades on CSX in the State of Michigan and is the ruling grade between Plymouth and Grand Rapids. Until the advent of CSXT's AC4000CWs, this was a helper district (Plymouth-South Lyon).
