Mr. Ellis has used this freight car storage method as a part of raising money for shortline rehab for many years; he was renting track space for excess IPD boxcars on the Kankakee, Bevierville, and Southern back in the late 1970s. I think he is a known player in the "find storage" game for private freight cars owners.
If freight cars had been parked on the tracks in a certain town ten years ago, maybe they would not have stolen the track for public parking and parks.
