2019 saw them finally build a short line siding about a mile or little more long in my area in South Jersey. Refinery, trash to steam plants, and a couple of other businesses has increased their traffic. Managing that traffic by parking a gondola train or sometimes a mix on the siding has helped.
It took them 50 years to this, too. It was a double line back when with one line for commuter service that was torn out over the years.
The railroads still keep the economy going.
