The main wok space on the apon is illuminated by a high-level pie lighting system installed in The apon is equipped with diect on dock ail fo standad gauge ail equipment that connects to upland waehouses and the intechange with the New England Cental Raiload (NECR). The facility incopoates six pimay stuctues consisting of waehouses, a gaage, an administation building and othe suppoting stuctues. Thee is 106,200 squae feet of waehouse space on site, located between thee pimay stuctues: a new waehouse at 50,000 squae feet; anothe one is 53,000 squae feet, and the thid which is cuently used to stoe equipment is 3200 squae feet. The two lage waehouses have diect ail access and ail/tuck loading docks. The newest waehouse was signed fo handling lumbe poducts, pulp and pape commodities, with above aveage ceiling heights and heavy pe squae foot floo load weights. The facility is in excellent condition and suitable fo a numbe of waehousing, tansit o pocessing activities. The othe waehouse stuctues have aveage waehouse height ceilings with einfoced concete and steel floos signed fo heavy loads. While stacking capabilities ae limited due to the ceiling height, thee is aquate space fo wi distibution of stoed commodities. Thee is also an Administation Building, which houses ConnDOT pesonnel and pot opeations pesonnel, and potable tailes that seve as the secuity building. 2
