Many of you are already familiar with my New York City Industries Map. I have decided to add a new feature to this map and need all of the help I can get: I will soon be outlining the parcels of land on Long Island that are well-equipped to receive commodities by rail, but do not. Essentially, this would comprise both existing buildings and empty lots along much of the LIRR ROW that have "rail potential". A feature of the map would even be drawing hypothetical rail lines into these buildings or onto these parcels of land, which isn't too difficult considering many were once rail-served and the former spurs can clearly be found by the tree cuts, curved building walls, and other features.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to start adding this feature to the map. I suppose there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of parcels/buildings that have rail potential. The purpose of this feature will be to demarcate properties available for potential development. Although I don't seeing it be used for the purpose, it could even be a helpful tool for companies scouting out locations and wishing to be rail-served. A pipe dream, I admit, but it would be a fun feature to illustrate on a map. Does anyone have a list of locations that are prime for rail service?
