That's interesting about P&W dropping gondolas bound for Ayer - when EDPO got involved in the Thursday 1/17/19 mid-day mishigas among POED, EDPO, and FI-1 at Gardner, the Pan Am dispatcher did mention something about EDPO needing to make a P&W pick-up, which I thought was odd. Now I know why! Thanks for the details.
