(erielack) re:Nabisco
Having done engineering work at most of Nabisco's bakeries, I have always=
enjoyed whating rail movements into and out of the plants. Many of the
bakeries are switched daily. Fair Lawn is a bit of a spectacle since the=
track bisect the employees parking lot.
The downside is that Nabisco was (is) very worried about competitors seei=
ng
their processes. I forgot this once at their Chicago Bakery (they always=
claim it is the largest bakery n the world). The plant is serviced by th=
e
Belt Railway of Chicago. Imagine this scene: A Belt Railway ALCO centur=
y
about to bring a string of cars into the plant while a train with two NYS=
&W
run through Dash 8-40's waiting for a signal on the next track. Out of
nowhere came the security guard! No photo - alost no camera!
