Also a pretty good train watching spot at times. Very recently a freight was heading west and he noticed one car had a truck with the...

I went by the Westover section today on Granby Rd, being ripped up with tons of fill pilled up on the right of way leading toward Rt 33. Granby Rd is being completely re-done between Montgomery Street interesction and Rt 33. Did not have a chance to look at any other section.
