Most track removed is to come back fully rebuilt. The Howland Hook Container Terminal and waste moves from the Travis Branch will be the main moves. Visy Paper's scrap paper-to-new paper plant on the Travis Branch will be a user, also. <br /> <br />There is also a lumber company (Dinaso) and brick company (Tranchina) on the west side of the island (no rail near them though at all), that currently receive their railed product in N.J., then truck in. They both will likely bring this into the island in the future then transload. The brick company was looking for a direct, rail served, Staten Island property that they could use as their own rail facility.
