Back in the day, 10-20 reefer cars daily would go to Hunts Pt, mostly coming in from California. There would be a seasonal bump around Christmas time when a few carloads of Cristmans trees would come in. Anyone who worked out of Oal Pt would never have to buy a Christmas tree. In the Summer, it would be between 20 & 40 cars daily when the melons were running. The produce would then be shipped by truck to NYC & Long Island markets. That set up worked out for decades. I'm not sure what goes on there nowadays.Point being, an intermodal terminal on LI handling produce most likely will never happen. And Lets not forget those pesky NIMBYS. |
