Both 10 and 5 Wheeling Ave (don't ask me why the address numbers go 3, 10, 5, 7!) have old sidings in the pavement, but sections disappear as work is done. As mentioned upthread, the area clearly once had lots of rail-served buildings, but none of the businesses there would generate enough traffic to warrant carload freight service at this point (case in point, one does commercial van/truck outfitting, another is a bus company), nor would the buildings themselves likely be large enough for a business which would generate that sort of traffic.
Wondering if I'll see the Western Route double-tracking finished before I retire...
