Isn't this uncharacteristically late in the year for a midsize vendor to be taking new stone deliveries? Or are Tresca's normal winter reserves depleted because of this bizarre freeze-free December extending construction season into a full month of 'bonus time' with no immediate end in sight?

Is Mass Coastal providing the switching for the Dragon operation? Does BCLR have a role? I visited 1701 a few weeks ago in her new nest by the dog pound. It's mothballed. Not prepared for regular duty.

CSX drops the cars. Bay Colony switches it out. The 1701 is an active unit and
not mothballed. Tresca is the customer.

Seems that http://www.baycolonyrr.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has "gone dark".. Is Seminole Gulf still operating this? Seminole Gulf's website's freight page no longer mentions BCLR.. According to this, Bay Colony was dissolved 6/18/2012 with an "application for reinstatement" on 6/10/2015. Ce qui donne?

I was able to access the BCLR webpage:

http://www.baycolonyrailroad.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

At any rate, BCLR still exists, headquartered in North Dartmouth, Mass. off Old Reed Rd.

Interesting in that for me anyway, a Google search on "Bay Colony Railroad" doesn't seem to be able to locate that site, yet it certainly does exist at that url. Image

Before they lost all that trackage to Mass Coastal, their webpage was more extensive.

Fresh out of high school in the late 1990's I found that address in a phone book and mailed a resume to it looking for a job. Never heard a thing lol.

I got my job with Mas coastal by showing up at their door, dressed ready to work.

Bay Colony to the best of my knowledge switches for a lumber company in N. Dartmouth that's it. They lost to Mass Coastal
