Since that system is present on large portions of every other northside line except the Newburyport extension that's why the speed limits don't exceed 60..The New Hampshire ML has 70 MPH speeds.

There are piles of sand and sections of conduit (4 inch dia by 8 ft long?). Some have been done and others have been marked with red/orange paint. They seem to be cutting the pavement and digging the conduit in. I haven't seen the cables they are installing, but I assume that this is probably part of the work on the signalling system.Yep. All of the signal cable that currently runs on telephone poles is being replaced by trenched conduits. So the crossings that still have overhead need new trenches dug. Whichever ones had preexisting trenches they'll just thread the new cable through what was already there.
