LOSA Returns - Dirty Dirt

Nope, they are definitely for dirt loading. Whether its coming from the casino project is
up to conjecture.

When Cynthia Scarano and a manager from the T (whose name I can't remember) were at an Andover Town Council meeting recently, a couple of audience members questioned them about the "dirty dirt" and "the contaminated dirt," Ms. Scarano responded "it's not contaminated."

So I guess that makes it clean dirt? Or dirt that's no more dirty than any other dirt? Or perhaps it's depraved dirt?

So its tarped now for no good reason at all? !

heard rumor that CSX taking over the dirt trains....cause PAR could not keep up with demand. Any ony know if true or not?

Nope...the dirt at Beacon Park comes from elsewhere. No more dirt from Everett.

Indeed - looks like that's it for the trains from the casino site. The tracks have been covered with dirt / fill for perhaps 25 yards on each side of the old Monsanto crossing. All the track appears to still be in place - just buried in that section - and the switch & frog are still there off the Chelsea market siding.

Google Maps updated its imagery today and for anyone who's interested, you can see the Wynn Casino siding as it was sometime pre-spring bloom. From what I hear, the entire siding is still present and was completely buried rather than removed.
