A source (non-RR) had mentioned this to me several months ago... if this actually happens, it would be a HUGE shot in the arm for the Falls Road - increasing traffic by over 6,000 cars a year of inbound raw material and outbound finished product. This would likely mean service on the line at least 5 days / week - and possibly more if they handle plant switching duties.
Why Holley? Very cheap municipal electric to start - easy rail access with their industrial park bordering the Falls Road - and some attractive tax breaks for new industry.
For now, let's keep this in the speculation file as talks between the potential business and the folks involved are still informal at this point.
