Sitting on the Graniteville siding on 02-17-2011 and in all probability well before was a substantial string of cars with -- at least by the Bridge Street bridge -- a substantial amount of rust on the wheel treads. The westerly cars were bulkhead flats with maybe drywall and/or premium lumber under white plastic wrapping. The westerly cars were mostly brown BNSF covered hoppers. Didn't get close enough to judge by spring compression if loaded or MT. More of the loaded and white-wrapped bulkheads were on the South Track on the curve and straight east of Main Street.
