Spurred on by the news that the Entenmann's Bakery on 5th Avenue in Bay Shore is closing (the first part of this year so far has been ugly on private employment on Long Island so far), I wonder that facility was ever a rail-freight client - it was built in 1961, about 10 blocks south of the LIRR in that area, don't really see a ROW but maybe there was one, but if there wasn't then there's always transloading or it's 1960s team track equivalent.
OK, so by law you are required to say something nice about a business from your past - when I was a teenager I really liked the oversized chocolate donuts they sold.
Odd - while LI private sector employment went down in Jan/Feb, Manufacturing numbers went up - guess they didn't all work at Amoc Plastics...

Long Island’s private sector job count decreased by 3,400 between January and February (not seasonally adjusted), more than double the typical loss of 1,500. Data suggest that bad weather may have had an impact on job growth in February. Natural resources, mining, and construction lost 1,300 jobs, almost twice the average loss of 700. Snow may have also hindered retail activity, with the sector shedding 4,600 jobs in February, nearly 1,000 more jobs than is normal for the month. In positive news, the manufacturing sector gained 400 jobs between January and February, compared to the 10-year average loss of 100.
