How come these tracks are not used anymore? I was there some time ago and part of the rail was broken. There is a lot of track layed down though.

Since I work in the grocery retail world, my old friend who has been in the business for 44 years told me that was I think the largest dry grocery warehouse on the eastern seaboard (in it's time era). 80 trailors on 2 sides (160 slots), the office, and of course the spur that got boxcars. Since then White Rose is named something else and was split up I think 1975 due to them breaking up the union. They are located in Jersey now.... not recieving goods via rail, rather truck.
During the 1990's, White Rose relocated all of its distribution facilities in order to better serve its retail customers. The Dairy Division was moved to Woodbridge, NJ while the Grocery and Frozen Food Divisions were relocated to new, state-of-the-art facilities in Carteret, NJ. In early 2000, the White Rose Data Center found a new home in Westbury, NY.I think the early 1990s was when White Rose left Farmingdale, and PC Richards moved in shortly afterwards..
