MEC 313 (GP40) leads FI-1's train off the Greenville branch toward the West Main St. siding at Ayer, MA with 5 cars, including the box car visible here, 2 empty tank cars, and 2 empty center beam lumber flats, one the car that they took out the branch. Considering this is the 1st time I have seen a train operate on this branch during a fair number of visits to Ayer, I was surprised they were able to round up 4 cars on the 1.5 mile branch to bring back to the mainline. Business must be better than I was aware
