I apologize for my ignorance of these details but I wonder:

- I remember reading a bad-news story not too many years ago that the owner of the gypsum quarry had shut it down. Of course if it did eventually reopen that news never got reported. Do we know if it is back in operation?
- Where does general manifest freight get handled in Dartmouth?
- In the same vein, where does that handling occur in Rockingham?
