Iron hours has been busy the past few morning start Thursday last week. Long strings of empty center beams and box cars. This is the most consecutive active I have seen there in 2 years. Business must be good.

I noticed they cleared the yard as well. There are a lot more cars stored there due to the work in Boston for the GLX. The track at the north end of the yard is mostly in place but would need some rehab before it saw any traffic. There has also been a string of cars At Anderson Woburn pretty consist...
