New spur in New Hyde Park

Quality Lineals was the last costumer in Freeport team. They haven't taking cars in years, they use to receive carloads of covered hoppers with plastic. In fact the covered hopper down there I believe they bought and is used for storage. Hendrickson always had LIRR work trains and track cars laid up. Maybe that was an LIRR freight costumer at some point in time?

Some photos of the operation:

Do they still make the same product that they used to make when they were taking cars? I wonder if they'd ever be able to work out a deal to recieve product via rail again.

A single PROCOR tankcar spotted on this spur for the new customer Sunday morning when I passed on the 9:36 am departure from Huntington. Good to see some new NYA business in Nassau County. Hopefully the trend will continue, despite the economic shyter we're in. Too bad the State government in Albany will, most likely, levy increased and/or new taxes on businesses (as well as families/individuals) to address the deficits they've created.......despite it all, state spending will increase by 1.1% this fiscal year. How can businesses thrive in that environment????????
