Eastern Railroad Discussion > Out and Around Keyser, WV - 24 May 2017

1) B770-24 at "The Park"... working the Keyser Industrial Park. Crews switch the park typically on a Wednesday afternoon.

2) Crews will call the dispatcher asking for permission to open the switch off track #2 and leave it open while "Working the Park"... This is where they are working, unloading point for the sole remaining customer in the Keyser Industrial Park. Automated Packaging receives Covered Hoppers of plastic beads in the manufacture of plastic bags. At one time there was 4 industries that received rail serve in the park.

3) B770-24 returning with the empties westbound passing the former B&O RR passenger station at Keyser, WV
