McKinnley is a community serviced by
the UP.
McKinnley area has Cunningham Baking and receives mostly inbound flour,
sugar, and packing products. Most finished goes out the
other end via truck since it is highly perishable. McMillian publishing prints pocketbooks and National Hardware has their
pacific northwest distribution center here servicing over 4500 hardware
outlets.
McKinnley Fuel (mostly
propane) and Quality Electronics are the only two sidings in West
McKinnley. Quality Electronics makes custom perf boards for
various companies nationwide. They do have a defense
contract for something top secret for the government.
Downtown McKinnley is
where most of the action is with the spurs to the Bakery and book
publishing. National Hardware is the large spur at the top
to the corner and almost forgot Spartan Industries, a big name for a
little company that has niche manufacturing for a special safety
electronic part used exclusive in auto computers.
Of course we have a
grain storage facility on the east side of town. There is so much
grain brought in during season that storage is critical as there is not
enough in the harbor area.
