Here is a google earth view. The yard is not really in Dearborn Michigan, but further west. On Michigan Avenue east of I-275. This view from 2007 doesn't show many cars/trucks waiting to be sent on their way like there is there now! I was by this yard about 3 weeks ago and it is full of cars now. Mostly Fords due to the proximity of their plant (just to the west of this pic). How long do they stay there? Can't say. How long do imports stay at their port of entry (POE) be it San Diego or Jacksonville? When the truck can be filled or rail car in your case, it's loaded and it leaves for its next destination.
Hey, we're CLOSE! It's coming. It will be great when it arrives!
