I am not sure if Stephen means EDPO or if this was actually picked up but here: http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo ... 530260.jpg
Could have gone to Rigby on AYPO and heading back West on POED to Lowell for placement.
Their cars typically come from NS. It was labeled wrong thats all.
It looks like the weight of that granite may have been too much for the track in Lawrence Yard. See the photo of derailment from Hayden Logan on NERAIL site----- http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo ... ex=3&key2=
The weight of someone standing on the rails in that yard are too much!
Fun Fact: The National Building Granite Quarries Association has a map of all member quarries at http://nbgqa.com/quarries/
Haven't had time yet to look them up and see which ones might be on NS.

Video on YouTube from this month of more granite being dropped at Fletcher. https://youtu.be/FsOkomyccfE
Heard recently from a contractor of some potential increased rail shipments to be going on there. Possibly some complete brushing out on the spur as well.
