Bring on the unit trains!!!!Turning part of the former Navy Base / Military Ocean Terminal into a facility that would handle the largest ships is currently under study. The original plans for the property have apparently fallen through.

Good, bad, no change? I've heard all different types of scenarios from more traffic, to less traffic, to not much change at all.... so I'm just wondering what the "experts" think on the situation.Like there's not enough stuff to talk about in New Jersey, so we have to go to Panama?
