Please respond to
"Tom Beckett"
There was a foundry there. Some of the buildings survived til after I moved
here in 1988, but were all gone by the mid '90s. It was vacant by the time
I
moved here, and the tracks had substantially been paved over. There was no
evidence of their connection to the main tracks. Looks like it was just a
simple crossbuck-no gates or anything else for protection.
