"If you drove by the former Corning-Asahi plant on East College Avenue and wondered about the activity this morning, it was all part of an effort to deliver a component of a new steam generator to Penn State.
Delivered by rail to the former Corning site Tuesday, the giant concrete boiler system today was lifted by a giant crane from its railroad car onto a flatbed trailer."

In my opinion, this could be one of the last revenue moves ever on this line before the tracks are pulled up, which I can envision happening in the next 5-10 years, at least from Lemont to the Pleasant Gap Fish Hatchery.
