AAPRCO "Pine Tree Limited"

Also the train has supposedly arrived East Deerfield, MA as of 8:20pm, 7am departure tomorrow morning out of EDY for those New Englanders!

Info on another forum is they left ED at 7:16am.

Athol at 9:10am

Was just told by someone in contact with a person on the train that they're still in Gardner at 1015am

Portland Press Herald reporter Tom Bell will be boarding the train at Haverhill. Assume he'll be posting updates online from the train.

Train left EDY 20 min late, ended up holding at CPF 363 in Athol for EDPO to get pushed up the hill at Royalston by 22K's lead unit, it departed 363 at 9:05am, around 9:15 EDPO cleared Gardner with the helpers, and then 22K passed Gardner around 9:45am with NS 6764 & NS 1101 leading long hood forward!! The AAPRCO it arrived Gardner around 10am, and left at 10:40am after holding at a stop signal for 22K & EDPO to clear 335. The AAPRCO cleared 335 and entered track 2 at 11:10am, not track 1 because 22K was at Wachusett's, I then raced to Shirley station and saw the AAPRCO rip through at about 40mph at 12:02pm.

Ugh I JUST missed it. I left Ayer at 12pm because I had to do something. Is it going south on the Lowell Line or the Haverhill Line?

Going to Lowell, Jct, Haverhill and on to Maine.

Reported to be by Tewksbury at 1412 hours.

Arrived in Haverhill just now, still approximately two hours behind schedule.

Will the pine true be passing through the biddeford/saco area?

Yes.

According to PPH reporter Tom Bell, the train is currently (16:15) stopped at Rockingham Junction to allow a Downeaster to pass.

Just passed north through biddeford
