@Tanker1497 Your either thinking of Luxfer Magtech or Goldschmidt Rail Tech. Not sure if Goldschmidt could get cars. They manufacture MOW equipment it seems.

Especially after what happened on Jan. 6th. Any railroad associated reason was most likely not considered.
- If they intend to use a few miles south of Woodmansie for rail car storage, why would they give a serious facelift to that bridge? It can't just be because of the Trump graffiti...
- Where did anyone hear about Clayton being sold?
- If C&D got grant money, and Clayton got sold, what does this mean for CMSL?

I have no information about a sale of Clayton's property, but I don't see why they would sell it after spending $$ last year to rebuild it. And with the upcoming Portal Bridge project looming, why would they sell? (With Gateway in the Future)
D&D, a subsidiary of C&D got the grant. We still don't know what the grant is for as the State has not disclosed the full text and has not, as yet, responded to a FOIA request. Speculation seems to be connecting the Freehold Industrial Track and the Southern Secondary through the OOS section between Oakerson Rd. and Farmingdale. Who would be operating the line is not clear. The State DoT seems to have a good relationship with D&D in Northern NJ, so we may be witnessing an evolution in Central NJ rail service. Bye Bye Csao, hello D&D? Time will tell.
It wouldn’t make sense for C&D to come down here if we have CMSL who owns part of the line in Manchester.Clayton Block and Sand owns the line from Union Avenue in Lakehurst to the Woodland Plant in Woodmansie.

@R&DB In Chatsworth there’s a Company called Ocean Spray who distributes cranberries grown at the nearby farms. My friend says they truck the cranberries up to Boston. They could get cars, but I’m not sure exactly how they’d go about doing it.
