PL-1

I'm trying to figure out how often PL-1 runs and how often it makes it to ED. Other than the corn syrup, the scrapyard in Waterbury, the newspaper and lumber dealer there, and the transload in Plainville, are there any remaining customers?

It's a weird operation.

Spoke too soon. Looks like the Peter Paul plant is closing and the jobs are being shipped to VA and Mexico.

From what I had last heard from an ex-GRS employee was that PL-1 is a daily-except-Sunday job that makes only one run to East Deerfield in a week. Guessing Saturday is the "normal ED day, but that could have changed again.

The sort-of pattern appears to be a Monday ED-Plainville trip, then Tues-Thurs or Fri working locally out of Plainville, then a Friday or Saturday Plainville-ED return.
