As reported on the Lansdale area yahoo mailing list, we now know where the new Shelly's distribution facility is going to be in Quakertown.
It is in the process of being built in the old "brick factory" adjacent to the old Northbound main. Roadwise, I think it's off of Heller Road, or Walnut Bank Farm Lane (according to my Bucks County atlas). In between the crossing at Mill Street and the bridge over Pumping Station Road.
Here is the quote from the mailing list:

There is still prep work to be done before the new steel is erected.I imagine that this will be another nice boost in traffic for the EPRY. They are already moving a decent amount of cars for the roofing company, and this will be even better. Maybe I'll actually be able to hear the trains working a little bit up the hills.
