2 edits | Pacific Harbor Line 2 regain scrap metal customer
Later this year, Pacific Harbor Line Inc. expects to begin serving Hugo Neu Proler Co.'s Terminal Island recycling facility again - after a more than seven year absence, according to the Los Angeles area short line's February newsletter.
The scrap metal shipper has operated the plant since 1962, but lost direct rail access when the former Brighton Beach rail yard was removed to make way for the Terminal Island Container Transfer Facility, which opened in 1997.
Hugo Neu Proler and the Port of Los Angeles are restoring rail service to the facility as part of a major site improvement project. The parties plan to extend a switching lead to the shipper's gate, where the lead will connect with two new industry tracks.
Hugo Neu Proler buys, processes, recycles and sells all grades of ferrous scrap, managing more than 60 percent of the scrap metal generated around Los Angeles.
The 85 mile PHL is owned and operated by Anacostia & Pacific Co. Inc., which also controls New York & Atlantic Railway Co., Louisville & Indiana Railroad Co., and Chicago SouthShore & South Bend Railroad. - Progressive Railroading.com courtesy of E. M. Berntsen

2 edits |  Who cares that you don't care? If the article doesn't interest you, just pass it by, there's really no need to come and and make statements like that. It's about LA, so I posted it in here, geez, talk about rude! Recycling, trains, LA, whatever you like, this article relates to it, unlike your post, which relates to nothing. Oh, and as for who cares about recycling, I hope everybody does  |

Ya that was a dumb@ss comment. Even if you don't recycle, be concerned, and glad, that others do...otherwise we would all be surrounded by a lot more trash and the goods we purchase would cost a lot more... |

| Umm look at it this way, Rail service is restored less Rundown tractor trailers on the streets and highways. If you have driven the 110 or the 710 you know what this could mean. Its a relevant article.

You can thank Willie Brown and the Democratic party for that traffic. Several years ago when Brown was speaker - Los Angles county tried to restrict large trucks to non-peak hours and thus radically reduce traffic. Naturally Brown took a huge chunk of money from the trucking industry and got a law through blocking LA's effort to reduce traffic.
Add to that the fact that Democrats in Sacramento diverted highway construction funds to every silly program they could think of and of course your commute sucks...

| That goes for the entire world But, I think the progress with rail here is awesome, there's more freight trains than ever, and So Cal has one of the fastest growing commuter lines, Metrolink, in the US, something that wasn't there when I grew up in So Cal. So for me, things have improved since I grew up down there
