Also no excess height cars can continue on into Boston, although not sure about Hunt's Point. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hunts Point is truck only. <br /> <br />If they get railcars into Hunts I'll eat my steering wheel. I spent some time at Hunts. <br /> <br />I dont think Albany is land locked. There is a river that runs to the sea in that area. Surely it can carry navigatible river traffic? <br /> <br />I think Albany will be doing alot of Grand Union business in that area, I used to run Eggs out of Maryland into that area and Butter; spices from Baltimore into that part of the NY state. <br /> <br />One of the things about the Northeast, they consume everything. It's hard to get anything out of there.
