Went and checked out the facility (from public roads of course) on the way to Newport last weekend and can't believe the amount of track that has been built down there to support this operation. The unloading system looks impressive too. Am hearing this facility could be as busy as Motiva's NS served Sewaren, NJ terminal which gets a few trains per week!
From what I heard recently, the new symbol for the eastbound ethanol trains over the B&A is K668. Not sure what the empties will be or if the cars will be tagged on other trains.

The MBCR lines on the South Side of Boston have had them for many years as well. :wink:
