GTW's Elsdon Line
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, September 4, 2005 1:21 AM
Hello all,

Does anybody have any info on the GTW's Elsdon line north of Hayford Junction? About 3-4 time a week,there is a local that zooms by with some lumber cars,boxcars and a few tankers...Now,there are some boxcars stored on the second track...Does anybody know who they are for or who takes them to the customer?
