I'm guessing packaging materials Flour is more likely in covered hoppers. Their Chelsea operation is right by the Eastern, but -- if I'm reading GEarth right -- they don't have service. Mebbe by truck from Ardent?

Probably boxcars, we get sealed plug door boxcars of flour already. Filled with phosphene gas to keep the critters out.

JSB Industries Muffintown. So I imagine flour cars is a good assumption.

Possible new customer in Ayer at the old Ford yard. Apparently there was already a 5 pack of double stacked wells loaded with garbage at Ayer, that went west on ED9. The old yard has been cleaned out and brush cut. I'm hearing potential for more than just garbage also.

Here are a couple of iPhone photos taken of the recently cleared ex-CSX autorack yard at Ayer - two of the three tracks shown (there are 5 tracks in the yard per the Google Earth aerial of June 2019) look usable. Perhaps the trailer will be a yard office?

How long has this place been shut down, I can't remember.

I think it closed while I was still there ~2006.
