It's been a while since there's been a post on this thread, so I thought I'd liven it back up a little bit, with a photo of that station on the AmeriGas property in Belvidere...

And I actually think the time frame we're dealing with on the last carload into that place was closer to 10 years ago...should have been around 1995 or so, and it should have actually been Brockway Plastics back when service was still going on...kinda funky track configuration going into that place, and I'm actually showing the unloading spot as being equipped with a Pneumatic Tube Connection...interesting...also it's only a single spot for carload drop, so they weren't getting a lot in there...
And the reason that the track isn't gone by now is because it's not officially abandoned...I guess NS thinks AmeriGas could find the need to get cars any time now...and I suppose they could...
