Vacant spur
Title:  Vacant spur
Description:  RVSC power uses a vacant spur to park its power. At one time this spur received paper container loads for BFI waste management. Later a company building trusses was receiving lumber loads until the 2008 recession. Today Sharyland ISD owns this lot and uses it for their school buses.
