Stoage Tanks will then be taken out of the building, <br /> Oand it will be for sale. <br /> Our business to the industrial Nark has been awful the last seven or eight months due to <br /> the economy and softness its the building market. 84 Lumber has not shipped a single <br /> carload yet.,and the loss of Norlakes,who had been our largest customer in the Park,will <br /> really hurt us. We are introducing their building to several potential customers who need <br /> rail and who believe the building might be a fit-All of these potential customers would fit <br /> 1 am sure within the zoning requirements of the area. We would sure appreciate your <br /> cooperation with any or all of them as without Norlakes volumn and given the depression <br /> in the building industry, we may he unable to sustain operation of the line North of <br /> White Bear in the future without the volumn.. <br /> Thanks very much for your cooperation and help, <br /> Sincerely, <br /> John Gohmann <br /> Cc: JG,JK,WH,Joc R. <br /> EfficiatG competitive and ca,My rail set-vice and indu.uial development a the Twin Chita <br /> "neutral"switching Barrie,and by(,:rmmd'cial Tranrload ui Minne-sora,our Subxidialy <br /> Z abed 00000-000-000 KSS:60 LOOZ'6Z VV <br />
