They’ve taken tank carloads at Huntington team track and also boxcar loads of ice melt at Islip team many years back during the NYA era. I would assume the tanks are loaded with some form of calcium.

I was told that K and SD were made single ended because it would be (a little) cheaper to implement PTC for each turnout removed. Go figure... no freight out that way these days so not really any meets.

Are multi compartment tanks still even a thing?

Who is the customer at Wheelspur taking bulk beer? - Last I remember there was a food importer there importing foods from over the pacific.

Nassau Suffolk lumber took boxcars at their Port Jeff yard facility in the American Dream siding. Kleet I believe got some sort of grant to keep their switch I believe at Park Ave in H...

NY&A never had anything east of Kleet on the Port Jeff at any time? Everything out there was gone by '97?

261/268/159 left Coastal westbound with 29 loads of C&D about 8:45 PM last night. Coastal's tracks were pretty much emptied out except for what looked like two empties in the darkness. Funny thing I saw the outbound cars to CSX at 6:45 AM this morning and in addition to cov. hoppers and boxcars...
