The facility spur is almost at the end of the WilsonArt spur. UPDATE: This transload facility is owned and operated by the Nevada Sierra Brewery in Mills River, North Carolina, about 8 1/2 miles to the west. Grain hoppers are delivered by the Blue Ridge Southern Railroad from the Norfolk Southern yard in Asheville. The grain in transloaded from the hoppers to grain trucks which take the grain to the brewery. |
