BM 1565 GP-7 westbound on the Stony Brook with pigs out of Manchester on a Saturday morning. The pigs were mostly loads from freight forwarder New Hampshire Shippers and destined for Chicago. They will connect with Boston-Chicago PB-99 at Ayer and be "grounded" in Chicago for Tuesday AM pickup. Way to get rid of excess TTX flats at end of week was to load one trailer per car.
