Took a look last week - Nothing at New Haven but there's still at least one NH trailer at their transload building.

One boxcar on the run around track-might be food stuff? Before the aggregate yard opened in Maspeth, there was a customer who unloaded foods directly to trucks.

There's a load of rail and ties back there, along with some Railroad Construction Company equipment.

Looks like at least 5 boxcars on the runaround track today. Plenty of tanks at Healthy. Newhaven empty as usual.

Does anyone know if the food business receiving the boxes relocated from somewhere nearby, or is it a new customer? Anacostia took down their detailed customer listing, so there's no way to tell.

The busiest in years. Healthy Brand was also the anchor tenant at Arch Street freight station until the end.

Back to the original topic and post, Arch Street officially out of service as of 4/1/2015, though last empty carloads
moved out by March. Wheelspur partially in service by August/September 2014.
