Some shocking, but great news out of Miami. Yesterday, Tolga Erbora informed me that track for a new industry is being laid a few hundred yards north of where The Downtown Spur splits from the main. For decades, there was a trash recycling business across the main from Hialeah Market Station. At one time there was a single track spur serving it but the rusted rails have been sinking into the weeds as long as I’ve been following the line. Apparently, the old track was removed and three new ones installed.
Here’s the location of the new industry. My understanding is that it will be some form of trash recycling concern.
This was what the location had looked like since I started following things in 2006. You’re looking north. In the foreground is the platform for Hialeah Market Station.
