Has anyone noticed whether International Bakers has moved out of its building in Jamaica yet as announced they would a while ago? Does anyone know if there's a prospect of the siding there being reactivated?

They are still in the process of moving out, although I wouldn't put much hope in the rail siding being re-activated. We're talking about New York City here... Where in other places industrial facilities are planned from the beginning with rail access in mind, in New York you can't even get an existing customer *who already has a rail siding* to ship/receive by rail.

^Case in point the new Restaurant Depot just finishing construction in Oak Point, the Bronx. They built a major distribution center right next to the main CSX yard in New York City, with the property surrounded by rail sidings *on both sides*. Prime railroad real estate. Yet instead, Jetro/Restuarant Depot in Oak Point built a retaining wall to keep any potential of rail access OUT. So insulting... so insulting.
