Isn't that usually the time of morning that the BS&G job heads back home after unloading the morning's delivery of sand at the plant? Were there a lot of empty hoppers in tow with the other miscellany?
BODO usually leaves Boston before the morning rush, and it definitely did so early this morning as well. But 21 cars sounds a little big to be a LA local, even if there was a combined Somerville/Everett/Salem run returning via the Reading Branch.
EDIT: Which line through Medford? I think of the Reading/Haverhill Line by default, assuming they were qualifying a crew on that line, but the Lowell Line goes through Medford, too.
