I'm curious as to an ofshoot of this topic; are there any current freight customers beyond the Fortuna station on the Doylestown line? I know there are some boxcars occasionally around where Walnut Street goes over the tracks in Hatfield township, but I'm not sure about further up the line. Are the connections all severed for the industrial businesses around Link Belt (County Line Road)?

Other railfans who frequently observe that area over the long term are encouraged to confirm or deny this.
