Dogbert:
From my M-7 window yesterday evening, there were about 8 very clean Herzog cars on the easternmost loop track in Sunnyside where the LIRR and Amtrak cross overhead.
Also noticed a string of empty DIFCO side dump cars. AMT uses that loop track frequently to store M of W equipment. I don't know if these Herzog cars are the same ones in Blissville. My guess is that LIRR (or maybe NY & A) was storing them for AMT and then brought them over when needed.
Anyway, Friday's train of cars was on the WB track that is being constructed for the ESA project. The LIRR website states that it is part of a project to pour a concrete slab and a new bypass track. The slab is in and new track (concrete ties) has already been installed and ballasted. The work started on 7/22 and is supposed to finish by 8/16. It roughly spans from the 39th St overpass to Queens Blvd.
