They will probably load the cars on the lead outside of the warehouse building. There's enough room for two flatcars outside and room on either side of the track to load containers.

Find me something they haven't mishandled,.... yet. That said it's good to see rail being used to move trash off of Long Island, maybe this will turn into a permanent endeavor. Perhaps even lead to new customers who might now see rail as a viable option to move their freight. Eastern Long Island especially, perhaps enough freight demand exists for a weekly train out to say Montauk ( there's space enough for a small trans-load facility that could handle some boxcars ).
