just was wondering if anyone knows how the trains on the northern
regions of the former B&A are currently being operated.

Last I knew, there was a job out of Squa Pan (errm, "Aroostook
Jct.") in the AM to the Presque Isle/Caribou/Easton "cluster",
another job out of Squa Pan in the AM that made a turn to Ft. Kent,
a MAdawaska day switcher and late-afternoon local to Ft. kent &/or
Van Buren, a night job Squa Pan-Millinocket, and a day job
Millinocket-Houlton. Is this still correct? (at least for M-F?)

Also, is the NBSR running the manifest and intermodal as seperate
trains (total of 2 roun-trips per day) east of Brownville Jct.?

Thanks

The Houlton local is now going on duty in Oakfield instead of Millinocket. The NBSR tries to run the IM seperatly, but is often combined with Job1/2.
