I don't know what Conrail calls it, but driving on 95 through Philly early this morning I crossed over the ex-Reading line that goes to Port Richmond, a few miles north of center city. Looking to the right (driving southbound), I used to see one old track. Now it looked like a crowded yard with about 5(?) tracks, mostly full of tanks. Didn't get a good look - it was 6:30 and I was going fast.
What's going on? I know Tioga terminal traffic is up, but I didnt' think that was tanks. I know oil traffic is way down - are they just storing cars? But the yard seemed fairly new. I doubt Conrail would build a yard just to store cars! JS
