Today I crossed the TT on South Ave., near Nasby. By the way snow was missing on the edge of the road you can definitely tell a train had run through it and later I noticed the same thing at the Airport Hwy. crossing. Does anyone know why they are using this part of the RR again?

Rick,
There a couple of online customers on both sides of the Hill Ave. crossing. One of these is the railroad supply company to the north which either receives gondolas of old ties or supplies full gondolas of new ties and the other is a fair sized lumber yard on the south side of the crossing that occasionally receives a single center-beam car or lumber. With no means of getting onto and off the TT at Nasby, trains run up through Nasby from Gould I do believe to service these customers. North of this railroad supply company, nothing runs.

These yard jobs tend to work very early in the morning, I often see the gates at Glanzman Road down between 4 and 5 in the morning.

Thanks, that's what I thought but I wanted to be sure. It's been 3 years since I've seen a train there.
