I saw the same cut of cars there today, still loaded.

They added another loaded bulkhead of steel beams. Total of 4 cars now in the siding.

Good to see that business is good for NYA with that steel customer.

Today I drove by to see the four cars on the siding, does anyone have any idea on when they will be picked up? I was thinking of waiting around tommorrow to see any possible action. :-)

Passed by there late today. Seems that all cars are empty. Earlier today I saw them unloading the gondolas. It's possible that they might come out on Friday .

Nah spare yourself the trip. NYA is shut down for the holiday. Probably back up there Monday.

  by SOO4601
 
Well that would've saved me about 2 hours waiting out there. :wink:
Thanks Scrap, will try Monday.

John, maybe I'll see you there. :P :-)

Dietrich :-)

Let me know if they're empty and I'll tell you when we're going to pick them up! You guys are going to start earning your keep!

Drove by today and they were empty, it seemed the Ideal Steel trucks were done unloading there, would be great to know when you guys are going to pick the stuff up, thanks! :-D

Dietrich :-D

Well, my dad and I drove down to the siding and were surprized to noticed that everything was gone, and I'm just curious, what time was the stuff picked up?

And both of you's missed us. We pulled out of there around 1105.

  by SOO4601
 
Dang, would've been nice to see you guys out there.
Might I ask what the power for the train was?

(I really hope that Ideal Steel still is ordering more steel. :wink: )
