Rail service to Calverton?

Does anyone know where those AGP tanks are coming from?

Prima unloading for Northville Terminal.

Is this spur going to die another slow and painful death or are they actually gonna start getting cars? It does not look like Metro is even close to being ready to.

funny I just drove by there a half hour ago and was gonna post the same question. Would have thought that eastern fence would have gotten something by now

In Tues 5/22 Newsday there was an article that Calverton 's 2 current costumers will receive railcars in the next 2 months. The town of Riverhead and NYA came to agreement on certain terms and conditions.

In todays Newsday 5/23 there is a small article about a new company " Grease Lightning" that has begun to ship tank cars out of Hicksville team to be turned into biodiesel.

The end of the spur by metro has been extended. They removed the fence where it ended and extended it quite a bit to the woods. Look like they removed some trees and installed the bumper there. Probably extended it 15 or so car lengths more. Some pics i took with my phone.

Besides tankcars, what other types of rolling stock will NYA be moving to / from Calverton???

Probably plastic cars for Eastern Fence.

Has any rail service started delivering to Metro fuel yet.

Nothing was there last week when I looked

Today is September 27th has Metro or any other business there receive any carloads yet.

Not 1 car.

Is Riverhead Town Board holding up service for the line?

The Riverhead Town Board would have no jurisdiction for "holding up rail service." Railroad service falls under jurisdiction of Federal laws.

Here's one reason you might not have seen any tank cars out there...apparently Metro Biofuels has filed for bankruptcy protection:
