This is what I have:
Day turn to Bellows Falls, works Mon-Sat.
Overnight turn to Whitehall
Turn job to North Bennington, I think is five/days/week in daylight, but I'm not certain.

I believe there is still a Middlebury turn job out of Rutland but not sure when it runs.

Isn't there also a loaded unit slurry train from Florence that gets delivered to PAS at Bellows Falls on Fridays?
Or does what becomes Pan Am's BFPO train get assembled with cars from multiple weekday Florence to Rutland and Rutland to BF trains prior to Friday?

Is six days a week to Bellows Falls correct?

Yes. Sundays as needed.

As for the slurry train, that traffic is now moved on GMRC 263, which is running on Saturdays again. (The slurry had been a Saturday-only extra when 263/264 were Mon-Fri.) At Bellows Falls it gets handed off to Pan Am and becomes BFPO.
