What are NYA's customers on the Central Branch from Bethpage, where it begins, to Babylon, where it joins the Montauk Branch? What's the configuration of their spurs, and what kind of rolling stock to they utilize?

The only customers on the Central Branch right now are Amco Plastics right off Route 110 on the east side of the overpass and Intercounty Bakers which is towards the west side of Wellwood DEF. Amco is switched every so often and Intercounty seems to be done once or twice a week. Amco gets covered hoppers while Intercounty gets Gold Medal boxcars full of flour. The beer guy next to Intercounty was supposed to get cars but I don't know what happened with that. The C&D customer east of Sunrise Hwy hasn't started rail service yet, but the switch has been put in along with track up to the derail. It has been that way for about 3 months.

Perhaps Jay could update us about the status of the beer customer and the C&D customer on the Central Branch....Any other prospects for new business on the Central in addition to these?
