For at least the few minutes it took me to do the back-and-forth, there was nothing on Graniteville siding on 03-28-2011 at 1115 +/-. Could it be going back to a passing siding again instead of an overflow storage track?

Maybe the elite Nimby's in Westford got their wish and had the cars that were "idling dangerously" moved to another location....

...and also the consignees are getting their loads and the MTs are out of limbo. The back yards long the tracks in Westford, like along the tracks in most other places, aren't part of Elite Central.

Two days isn't a really good sample, but on 03-30-2011 at 1315 =/-, Graniteville was still clear. The siding seemed shiny from the Gvlle bridge, so may have been used for meets or short-term set-outs. What wasn't clear on 03-30-2011 between 1130 and 1330 were West Main and the Camp. Both seemed pretty near crammed, with covered hoppers being the most represented. Anybody know if there's a connection between an MT Graniteville and filled West Main and Camp?

On 04-08-2010 at 1100 +/-, the only thing on Graniteville siding was a coat of rust. No more overflow, even short-term?
