I've been by Suburban's siding several times in the past few weeks and noticed no propane cars at all in the siding. While i understand that the business is seasonal, shouldn't this be a heavy time of the year for inbound loads?

There were a few tank cars on the Algonquin Parkway switch two weeks ago.

There's also a major pipeline passing underneath the property, does that also move propane?

I believe the pipeline you refer to carries natural gas it continues on through East Hanover

There is almost always one tanker there at all times, when I passed by last week there were two on the siding.

So far the winter has been slightly warmer than normal, so there would have been no peak demand for LPG. A prolonged cold snap would probably result in increased traffic.
