The Trop Lead, named after the Tropicana plant pictured on the right, is a great example of a worn down spur just outside of New York that has change dramatically in the last 50 years. This entire area was once home to the PRR's Greenville Yard, but has diminished in size over time. While what remains of Greenville Yard just received a multi-million dollar rehab, the several spurs around it that are still in use linger on with a less than stellar appearance. Pictured is Conrail Shared Assets job BA-3 pulling 12 scrap cars from Sims Metal Management off the Trop Lead in Jersey City with NS SD45-2 1702 leading.
