Looks like Zemrock, the company that was unloading fly ash, never paid their freight bills and they were sued by NS: https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/65753edbcd29093de5351df0 Thanks to the newly erected Bezos Terminal on Borden Ave, I can no longer see Blissville Yard from my apartment. I assum...

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 ...

Just confirming that no boxcars have been spotted at the freight house for 2+ months now. Deliveries of boxcars to the runaround track continue.

Sorry for the very slow response, but the page looks great! I'm not sure what's up with Newhaven. They haven't gotten any cars for 2+ weeks but still have trailers parked at the freight house. Meanwhile, the customer on the 'back track' has been getting 3-4 boxcars every week and unloading them dire...

Healthy is getting tanks of vegetable oil, just as they were doing at Arch St. Newhaven had been getting newsprint for the Times plant when they were based at Oak Point Yard, but I believe their former buildings in the Bx are now used by Manhattan Beer. I *assume* that they are also getting paper pr...

Kingston, NY based activity and river line customers

Hello! I'm staying in Kingston for the week and am wondering if C711 is still the local for the area and if it runs out of Selkirk or Kingston. What time of day does it usually run, if it has a regular time? I'm also trying to put together a list of customers on the river line and this is what I hav...

Looks like the lumber customer has been gone for a while -- not sure if they are transloading elsewhere.

But a new customer has appeared on that runaround track. They have been getting high-cube boxes and transloading directly into box trucks. I can't quite make out what's in the cars.

Very cool! Does anyone know where the coke loads originate? I know the refineries in the Chicagoland area send out a lot.

Passed by today. There's now an office structure in place, scale installed, and a company name on the gate. The same 6 SOXX hoppers are still sitting.

Yes indeed! Based on the tags, it looks like the same 6 cars from November are still sitting there.

What's happening here? New-ish switch in Medford.

The latest Google Earth satellite imagery (April 2021) shows a new switch just west of the (former) Suburban Propane switch. There are/were track panels staged on the ground just to the south. It's not every day you see a new switch cut into the LIRR. Is this even more Gershow? Something else? https...

In related news, the cement barge used for the Rockland-to-Southie shuttle is being towed through NYC at this moment. Perhaps it found a new job.
