I would hope that would make it a little bit harder for the NIMBYS to complain if it was turned into a light rail.Yeah I knew it was active, just was wundering about lite rail. As for the boxcars I don't know, my grandfather worked for Shifinghous box corp and he said they used to recieved boxcars of large rolls of paper, but last I checked the siding to the plant was completely overgrown with vegitation, the switch was still intact, but def no rail service in quite some time. With the various industries along that line you would think NS would solicit some business.
On another topic, Last spring I was near Signature Fitness on Little St. in Belleville. A train went by with an engine on each end, no suprise. What did suprise me was the train was made up of box cars not tanker cars. I'm not sure who the customer was but they were definitly located South of Little St. in Belleville. Does any body wkow who the customer was and are they still getting service?
By the way. Nice quad.
