Here is a look at the Tarkett flooring facility in Vails Gate NY. When it began production in the mid 1960's, they needed rail service and a portion of the shortcut that had been removed a year earlier for Cornwall Coal and Supply was re-installed for this facility. The scene here was taken in February of 1976. Next month, Conrail will take over the EL and seven other northeastern railroads. The facility experienced action up until 2008 when it closed. It is now a business park and the rails remain, waiting to be used once again. Russ Hallock photo.
