I've been trying to get a feel for the "geographic spread" of the various industries New York & Atlantic serves throughout Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island. I've decided to create a personal map using Google Maps and establish a placemark for each industry or customer listed on the NYA website (my baseline data). Working with everyone here, I hope to refine this map to be 100% accurate. I understand the customers listed on the NYA website (and consequently, my map) are out of date; some customers have discontinued rail service, others may have changed names, others may have started rail service and aren't listed on the NYA website, etc.
I post this map knowing full well that it is full of errors; it is baseline data compiled from an outdated website. It is my hope that everyone can take a look at it, click on the placemark for the industry name and see the commodity received/shipped, and we can get a discussion going so that I can make this map as accurate as possible. Let the bullets fly, hold no punches! Let's get this map as close to real life as we can. What info is outdated? What info needs to be added or changed? Let me have it!

Thanks everyone! What's the first thing that needs changed?
