[QUOTE]Originally posted by Myford Browning: [QB] The transloading facility at Orange (between Walnut and Collins) was served by both the Santa Fe and SP/UP. The other customer on the ex PE was an Iron works at Collins that got steel delivered, but no longer uses rail (there was a name change of the company). When Metrolink proposed removing the diamond at Marlboro, the plan was to install a connection at Marlboro. However as work was beginning, the UP decided to abandon that idea and use the trackage right from CP College that the Coata Mesa switcher uses. Since a connection was installed between Metrolink and the industrial track near Collins, the Marlboro switcher did serve the customer for about a month and then stopped serving them. The Santa Fe continued to serve the tranload facility. A significant amount of traffic seems to have been transfered to a transload facility at Olive at the Adams Steel area. Recently it seems that more business has may have returned to Orange and I have noted Covered Hoppers on the interchange at CP College (St College Blvd). One proplem for the UP to serve the customer from CP College is that the train needs to use track #2 beween CP College and CP Maple (Orange) and the wye at Orange can't be used so there would be so significant backing.
