There is an extensive thread(s) on Poland Spring water over PAR system to somewhere in NJ or NY area to distribute in the NYC area. Including test unit trains of water that have to get to their destination before the water freezes. Nestle Waters does big business in bottled water in the US, including Poland Spring and Perrier. So much that they sold off theUS candy business and kept the water. When I visited Miami a few years ago they seemed to have a near monopoly on spring and filtered water. Lots of rail potential, and CSX probably makes it easier in the NY area.

They said Pan Am was moving lumber to a certain spot and then it was being trucked to NJ from there. CSX said they could instead take the lumber loads by rail all the way to their Transflo yard in Newark.Was that possibly Cedar Hill Yard for the lumber? I kind of remember that.
I don’t know if they have started doing this though.
