I've noticed in the past several weeks they have been using the leads to the old B&M Yard 21 for storage. The tracks that are closest to the Orange Line tracks has stored several MBTX MoW cars, a couple of flats with old rail panels and a dump car, for awhile. The track against the wall/embankment hasn't really been used since the acid tank car leak back in April 2004. As of the end of last week they have stored a string of cement hopper cars and two tank cars. The tank cars are just about at the temporary end-of-track, two ties and an orange cone, under the Maffa Way overpass. Is this going to be the new storage space? The trackage, by my eyes, needs a lot of work as well as the shoring up of the retaining wall holding up Brighton St. Otherwise this will be an incident in due time.
