What kind of activity can I expect over the weekend in the area? I know the Vermonter runs daily....but can I expect any freight to look forward to? Any activity on the other railroads that connect with NECR? (VTR in Bellows Falls or WRJ, CCRR in Claremont Junction or WRJ, or Pan Am?)Change of plans. Going to head up on Friday, swinging through the Saratoga area so buff the SNCRR in the morning, then work our way across to WRJ hopefully getting there mid afternoon/early evening. Thanks for any advice that can be shared

Have not seen yet where 79 MPH will take effect nor if any new interlockings or signal rules have been placed in service.All signalized territory is getting the Class 4 speed bump with the CTC upgrades, so Northfield Jct. to White River Jct. is the new sped-up stretch for the current route. Believe the Class 3 uprate in dark territory WRJ-St. Albans has already taken effect...at least most of it if they haven't yet finished 100% of those upgrades.

(unless you like so-so food served unheated and rudely thrown at you)My two cents, but i've never had an issue with their service. Food can be better from time to time. But I think any business that allows you to park on their property for as long as you want, the least they deserve is for one to patronize their business, even if just for a soda or a sandwich.
