So, I was looking through Google maps and see covered hoppers spotted at Berry Plastics near Candlewood Road in Anne Arundel County. I have no idea when the satellite photo was taken, so I am curious if anybody gets back in there to see if they still use rail service. I haven't walked those rails in years and thought the whole industrial park ceased to use rail service.

If they still do get cars, when is it switched, at night? I know the Dorsey Industrial Track gets switched by the D780 as needed, but this move would be off of the NEC.

This is just up the road from me @ work...don't know how recent the pic of the hoppers but I'll swing by and check out the area. Yea, I've only seen the NEC switched at night...

They recieve regular service by NS, looks like about 3 cars at a time usually. Not sure at what times, I'd like to know that myself. There is usually a worker fiddling around with the unloading hoses. I don't know if they care if you take pictures there, not that it would stop me either way.
