Another track crossed the street behind Paul, also swinging north to connect to the one pictured. Looks like a small “runaround” siding was there too. Neat operation. I had no idea they crossed the road here. From a 1971 aerial it appears this track crossed Canal Bank Street, curving north.

That's about 5000 railcars worth and the new owners are advertising rail access... plan is to process and ship it all out - it's worth billions... the property probably sold for millions :) Crazy to think this plant dumped 500,000 tons of graphite on the property and now it’s about to be re-activated to process and ship it out, worth 10-20k a ton.
