The Fuzzy World 3um

A recent post on the Railspot list made me think of the Coca-Cola plant on Brown Deer Road in Milwaukee. The one mentioned in Dallas, TX gets 9-10 tank cars of corn syrup a day, off a long and winding spur off of the DGNO. The one in Milwaukee, though I'm not sure how it compares in size and/or volume, is within a short distance of the WSOR Milwaukee Sub (and, for that matter, the end of the UP Granville line, but that would mean crossing over the WSOR). Makes me wonder if the amount of potential volume might be worth installing a spur?

Well, that's what I get for thinkin', anyways...

You dun raised a sticky question - how much carbonation would they hafta pump (presuming syrup is NOT the only ingredient) to justify the investment?
Any Fed/WI incentives available for new rail service points? {saves wear + tear on highways, yaddah x 3}
