GEC's Layout Progress

Wasn't there a Chrysler plant in Newark, DE? Where did its traffic come from?

I think so, And i'm pretty sure there is an automobile factory still down there, But I'm not sure how much of that traffic would have travelled north by train (more likely, trucks woulds take them to distribution centers in New Jersey and New York).

That said, I'm not sure where its traffic came from for that particular plant, since i've been focusing on New Jersey related research. I've seen many trains on the Corridor carrying automobile frames or their components (if not fully complete automobiles), so there is definitely a lot of automobile related trains.

In the region I want to model, the Ford Plant is in Edison/Metuchen, and the GMC truck and Bus plant is in Linden, so there was no shortage of automobile related freight on the corridor.
