Do you happen to know whereabouts in Thomaston they're looking to build it?
There's currently a business in Thomaston called Thomaston Recycling, located down in back of Dragon, and the Rockland Branch runs along the back side of their property. On Google Maps it looks like they've got quite a bit of land if they wanted to expand the operation...

If the rumor is regarding Thomaston Recycling, that would make sense because they're already there and already abutting the railroad. If the rumor is about a different company that doesn't already own rail-adjacent land in Thomaston, that would make less sense to me; IMHO such a company would be better served somewhere on the PAR mainline and could probably find some industrial land elsewhere at a lower price than in Thomaston.
