What is the configuration of Kleet's spur at it's Huntington location? Driving N/B on Park Ave into Huntington today and crossing the track I noticed several centerbeam flatcars spotted at Kleet, one of which was off by itself in the middle of the outdoor storage area. I didn't know they had track other than the spur that parallel's the right of way inside the fence. Thanks.

Ahh, yes, I see. Didn't think to check that or Google Earth first. Now, how are cars spotted on that switchback? Does NYA just spot the cars on the main spur & then Kleet has some way of moving them over, or what? Thanks.

IF they have a Heavy Forklift,it could move the car after all the air is bleed off and releasing the handbrake,
hard to tell where the switch is under the car(Bulkhead flat).
