Trash from NYC!  Wow.

A lot of people living in urban areas might be surprised where their trash ends up.

I've seen truck after truck on the 402 between Toronto and Sarnia, all loaded with trash/garbage.

Of course, they could still be dumping it into the ocean...

Makes sense....I hear them (scanner) discuss Sunny Farms.  Also thought it was an agricultural customer.

Trash from NYC!  Wow.

The trash cars are for a landfill just south of Fostoria.  I think it is trash out of NYC.

Fostoria local traffic
Posted by MP173 on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 9:26 PM

I have been on the Fostoria web cam as the Chesterton web cam scanner is not been working.

On the former C&O line there is a pickup of trash south of Fostoria which seems to be handled by local H702.  Where is that destined to?  I saw it with car markers of CDEX on high sided gons.  Today 9- 58 cars. 

Also there are "rock cars" picked up at Carry by H794.  Yesterday there were 94 cars.  Any idea of the final destination for these cars?

Lots of local traffic around Fostoria.  NS runs several locals in and out of their yard.
