I've noticed both in person and in several YouTube videos that NY&A is handling a sporadic number of gravity-outlet covered hoppers - the type that is commonly used for grain transport. Please note these are NOT the Pressure Differential types that usually carry flour, corn starch, sugar, etc., and NOT the pneumatic types that carry plastic pellets. The covered hoppers that I'm referring to, as I said, have gravity discharge gates and the most obvious explanation to me is that they are carrying grain, wheat, corn kernels or some other bulk agricultural commodity of some sort. Who on the island would receive cars such as these? I never figured Long Island to receive grain, corn, or anything like that. Of course I could be wrong...
Does anyone know where these gravity discharge covered hoppers are going? Who is/are the customer(s), and what are these covered hoppers carrying? Thanks guys!
