Discussion in the Portsmouth Activity thread reminded me of some questions I'd been meaning to ask.
So I'll echo roberttosh's question: does Shaw's Supermarkets Distribution Center in Wells still receive or ship anything by rail? Even in the '90s and early 2000s when there were several customers in Wells, I recall that Shaw's was a somewhat infrequent/sporadic user of rail.
Spencer Press usually saw rail activity at least once a week. They're long gone now. Village Candle now occupies part of the old Spencer space, but I haven't heard anything about them using rail.
I don't think the propane dealer, Eastern Propane, has used rail in several years, even though their web site still indicates rail access at their Wells location.
