From all the pics I have seen...this hump yard looked full and busy up until the end. So how did Guilford get rid of the traffic over night?

I think Guilford was supposed to block cars for D&H locations too.Yeah SRED mostly had misc Deerfields, loaded cement for Fitchburg and Concord, sodium chlorate for the mills and empty paper cars (from Quadraphics).

I have never heard that UTU did such a thing..They did that with the MEC, B&M, ST and PTRR as well. Infact, they dovetailed with prior rights that are still on the seniority rosters. The last man to have B&M prior rights was Arthur Martin in Deerfield. I believe he still gets short crew pay.
