We know the LIRR would rather not, But the industry track in question would benefit from a switch on the East end as well.
Making it essentially a DEF would provide more flexibility allowing NYAR to lay up cars for this consignee and or when in a Jam clear up there for passenger service.
I noticed the spur cleared to the boxcars. I don't know how far back that track goes but it goes further back then where the boxcars are rusting. The switch to the boxcars is not exposed and not there. When I seen the track cleared I thought the end was near for the rusting hulks.
