Does anybody know the current customers on the Totowa Industrial? I see cars at Omega warehouse on both sides of Riverview Dr... but I thought I saw a covered hopper at what was/is Race Plastics...??
Any help would be great.

I'm assuming H-zero-2 will pick up some cars in Washington tomorrow that H-sixty-5 had dropped off.jsx wrote:I usually see them on the Totowa Industrial, and at Drakes on the old NY&GL in Mountain View.I work on Vreeland Ave in Totowa, & today at about 12:35 PM a train made a car pick up at the plactics company.

Funny thing about it- on the engines, someone had written in the dirt "Montclair Boonton Through Freight." So, from this we know that the folks from Dover read these forums from time to time and also that they do have a sense of humor.
