A couple of interesting things I saw from the Sullivan inbound platform this morning, around 8:45. First was PAR heading outbound with some covered hoppers and a few tankers of hydrochloric acid, behind an engine (didn't see it closely) that was spewing so much smoke I couldn't actually see whether it went out the Haverhill or Newburyport/Rockport lines. Looked like the Haverhill, are there actually any customers up that way?

Then I noticed another PAR unit way down at the wye to the Yard 10 lead, pushing something into the wye. It looked like a caboose, but was too far away to tell, and the Orange Line train I got on a minute later was too crowded for me to get a better look. Any ideas what that might have been?
