Because Dragon could no longer send it via the Rockland Shuttle/barge.
Why should that matter?
Because it was cheaper for Tresca, and made the most money for the RR operating the shuttle. Now the cars have to change hands multiple times, and the cement has a less direct route to reach Island Road, as the first cars went all the way to Selkirk and back.
The cars for the shuttle to the barge could no longer be used, and that operation has ceased, necessitating the moves by rail again via CP/Pan Am/CSX.
