Conrail S.A. still has trackage that goes alongside the Packard plant, so it would have been NYC back when they were still making automobiles there.

That place is long overdue for a lot of strategically placed dynamite.

Instead of dynamite it'll soon be home to a lot of construction folks doing a conversion into residential and retail courtesy of a guy from Brazil that bought it earlier this year. Preparations and preliminary work has begun on the project.Norm wrote:That place is long overdue for a lot of strategically placed dynamite.

Residential and retail in the old Packard plant? What would be his customer base? The entire surrounding area is all welfare or homeless, or old people too poor to leave.
