    Crazy to think this plant dumped 500,000 tons of graphite on the property and now it’s about to be re-activated to process and ship it out, worth 10-20k a ton.

    That’s about 5000 railcars worth and the new owners are advertising rail access… plan is to process and ship it all out – it’s worth billions…

    the property probably sold for millions :)

    Also was there a railway on the canal side of canal Bank st? I find thus location strange to imagine.

    From a 1971 aerial it appears this track crossed Canal Bank Street, curving north. Another track crossed the street behind Paul, also swinging north to connect to the one pictured. Looks like a small “runaround” siding was there too. Neat operation. I had no idea they crossed the road here.
