I was hanging around Westford today waiting for SEPO to leave (he had 115 cars and it took a long time for the conductor to walk the train after picking up a cut of cars on the no. 2 track), and a woman with a little girl was walking by and noticed the train off in the distance west of the interlocking. The little girl asked if the train was going to leave and the mother said "no, not for awhile, they'e probably waiting to bring all the groceries to the stores." I thought it was nice that someone still thought the railroad delivered the groceries, even though a good chunk of that bussiness is done by truck. I'd hate to have told her that the train was mostly empty box cars going back to paper mills in Maine.
I can't think of any grocery distribution customer on Guilford. They don't serve DeMoula's in Tewskbury anymore, I believe. Anyone know of any grocery customers that Guilford may still have?
