Title:
PGR 42
Description:
The number of sand facilities and the number of car loads they put out is almost staggering. This is a short look into the Superior Silica Sands at New Auburn. There is much more to the facility than this shows. Twenty years ago, who would have guessed sand would become such a valuable commodity to the railroads, outside of insiders that were aware of the fracking potential for oil.
