Does NYA still receive any carloads of actual bricks for Kings Material or Glenwood Mason?

This used to be a pretty substantial operation for both Arch St in LIC and also JJT had a transload in 65st when the yard was reopened taking boxcars of brick in the team yard.

I think there was a customer at Hicksville Yard that took boxcars of bricks, and bulkhead flatcars of some sort of other building material, back when NYA had the use of the yard for off-line customers.
