Hello all,

Does anybody have any info on the GTW’s Elsdon line north of Hayford Junction? About 3-4 time a week,there is a local that zooms by with some lumber cars,boxcars and a few tankers…Now,there are some boxcars stored on the second track…Does anybody know who they are for or who takes them to the customer?
