Wow, I didn't realize Manhattan Beer was operating at both locations. I thought they had moved. Better keep them happy!
Remind me where all the C&D loads end up? Do they backfill mines in the Midwest with all that tonnage?

If a new customer opened up shop and wanted to be served by NYA on this branch, would the NYA crews have to requalify on the branch, and would NYA have ask the LIRR's permission to serve W.H. Branch customers again?Actually, I'd like to know why the customer that moved into Basley's doesn't use rail service (They too are a building products distributor)

Please keep us updated as far as this B unit status goes.You took me too literally. I wanted to say trailing unit. It would always be sandwiched between two cab-signalled units.
