I get the impression that the industry in Lawrence next to the old station platforms hasn't been rail served for a good while, Google shows it as being part of the New Balance factory. Does anyone know what it was when it was rail served? Were both the spur that goes into the building and the one alongside for the same industry?
To clarify, I mean these spurs http://g.co/maps/me3ym

They still get cars, at least a couple times a week. Its called B&D warehouse. The only door that gets used is the first one, the spur that runs alongside it is OOS but its all part of the same building.
