Wonder if any of the track work that has been working on the Portsmouth Branch over the past few months will make their way to the Worcester Route before winter to pick up some of the slow speeds on the line.
Unless they have 2 tie gangs, not gonna happen for a while. Seems most of the gang's equipment thats been in use on D1 the last couple years is tied down in Winthrop, ME right now. A TRIPP or 2, couple Kershaws, spikers, spike pullers, etc...
