(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!
