The Granite Switcher

Fletcher Granite’s GE Tonner shoves a single gondola to the Pan Am interchange in Westford, MA. This small and obscure operation serves the purpose to retrieve loads of granite, imported from a quarry in Georgia, and deliver them to Fletchers processing plant for cutting and distribution. In 2014, granite shipments by rail ceased. It wouldn’t be till late 2020 that operations resumed and have since stuck around.
