Is there still an active team track in Bayshore? If so, who is served there and how often? What kind of rolling stock do they get? Thanks.

On my way home took a drive past the team track yesterday and I notice that there might not be any east side connection to the line but there is a new concrete grade crossing for it on 3rd AVE so I am not sure if there is any action there. Also I did not see any freight at that location in the past couple of days that I been looking there and so far the only place I have seen freight is at Islip at the lumber 84 siding. :-)

no action on that siding at all

I don't think it has been serviced is because there are probably no custimers there. lirr415-Peter

I live and work down the street from that siding. There has been no action on that siding for years. It is not starting to become over grown with weeds and litter.

How many tracks made up that yard? When was it torn up?

Perhaps you can place the MOW photos I have, then! What years were before you were driving? I believe the photos of the MOW equipt are 20 years old. Thanks!
