With the recent demolition of the locally famous "Sal's Scrap Metal", the installation of protected railroad crossings, and road construction, this scene near Garrison Avenue is barely recognizable when compared to previous years.

Market Service In The City. On the night of Tuesday, March 18, 2025, CSX L017-18 made the trip from Oak Point Yard to the Hunts Point Market in the Bronx, New York. On this night, CSXT 6227 (née-BO 4328, GP40-2, 2/1979) brought over a substantial cut of refrigerated boxcars and a single hopper. The Hunts Point Market opened 1962 to consolidate food delivery. It is served by CSX and has substantial direct trucking access for distribution. Perhaps the most common questions associated with this branch from the railfan perspective is "what is the schedule", and the (dreaded but) correct answer is "none, service customers as needed", so the only way to know what what will happen is to show up and observe movement from a public area.
