On my way home today from Boston on the MBTA Orange line, I noticed several workers using various pieces of equipment removing trees, rails, and ties from Yard 21.

It will be interesting to see when (and if) IKEA is built if they would use rail for deliveries.Ikea shipments for the east come into the Port of Savannah(GA) via container ships and are brought to a large distribution warehouse near there. From there the items are trucked the individual stores.
