[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Noah Hofrichter</i> <br /><br />I was watching the travel channel a few days ago, and they were at the Hershey theme park in Hershey Pa. They had a comera on one roller coaster there, and on one turn I noticed a double track mian going right by the park. What railroad owns this track, and do they serve the Hershey company at all? If so, how often do the switch the place. It's kind of interesting really. <br /> <br />Noah <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Noah- <br /> <br />The main Hershey plant is served by the Norfolk Southern (former Conrail) and has a switch job assigned to serve that plant. There are huge silos for the cocoa beans on site asnd the beans and I believe also bulk sugar also arrives at the plant in covered hoppers. Last time I was there they were using a couple of ex-CR SW1500s on that job. <br /> <br />LC
