The answer is yes.  A dairy in Homer , NY continued to use rail even after the EL merger and the demise of psss. trains on the Syracuse Br.  It was a piggyback operation with the trailers being loaded through side doors while on the flat car.  They were handed by the local out of Binghamton to Homer.  It made it a point to get back to Binghamton to make #22 out of Bing.  The emties were handled on #7 and then the local back to Homer.  This went of for several years.  I worked as a brakeman on the Syracuse Br. the summer of '62 and had the honor of setting off this empty flat with two trailers at Homer on several ocasions.
