Osterman propane down in Adams, MA has been inquiring with the RR as of late about getting their switch put back in but the RR has basically laughed at them. But it shows the smaller distribution facilities are looking to capitalize on incoming rail again.

Seriously? Geez, it's not like they would be going out of their way since they look to be doing considerable business in the immediate vicinity anyway. How much does it cost to cut in a switch panel anyway?

Very much so. It kind of gives you an idea of why it made sense for BM and MEC to have a Portland Terminal subsidiary to serve all the industries in Portland, South Portland, and Westbrook.
