RE: (erielack) More EL in Massachusetts!

Just because a tariff is still on the books doesn't mean the traffic still 
exists. If B&M handled milk traffic after the mid-60's, I'd love to hear 
about it. How did it get to Boston? By 1967, B&M had no passenger service 
beyond the Boston-area commuter district.

The OJ move is interesting, and reminds me of the Tropicana juice train 
(which wasn't in bulk). Assuming B&M participated in the linehaul, the most 
likely routing in 1970 was SCL-Pot 
Yard-B&O-Philadelphia-RDG-Allentown-CNJ-Wilkes-Barre-D&H-Mechanicville-B&M. 
Another possibility is SCL-Pot Yard-PC-Rotterdam Jct-B&M.

And the milk rates were cancelled Oct. 20, 1970. However, by at least  July, 
1970, Hood was using three GPEX (Pfaudler design) cars to move citrus juices 
in bulk from Florida to Charlestown, MA.  Now there's a routing to ponder.
