Have seen Hicksville Yard with long cuts of Herzog hoppers on the center and east-side tracks recently. NYA lost the use of the yard to the LIRR again???

Use of the yard was not lost. There are no customers there and it's being used for LIRR projects at the moment.

Passed by on a Penn-bound train late Saturday, 3/7, afternoon. The long cuts of Herzog hoppers I had seen a month ago were gone, and there was MoW equipment on the yard trackage. There was a cut of LIRR hoppers with at least one MP-15ac for power on the siding east of the Yard.
