A pair of pressure-differential hoppers sit in the east side of the yard, awaiting pickup for the trip back west,

Also awaiting pickup is a string of pipe loads from Wilson Steel Works.

Lastly, a string of plastic pellet hoppers sits in storage, awaiting final delivery of their loads; not all will wind up at Pete's Plastics.

An electrician checks the installation of a pair of solar panels. The AP&W is increasing the use of solar energy at its facilities, helping to reduce its carbon footprint -and its light bills!
