Talk is this train moves Friday to the Northside with rail for the Woburn area (storeon
No.4 Track at Anderson RTC), then up around Frye (store on the dead track between
Frye and CPF-JK) with the remainder between Melrose and Reading (train will store on
the Reading Middle).

Wow, the beginning of the end of the jointed rail on the Western Route? Is this the largest stretch of jointed rail left on the system?
The beginning, yes. There is not enough rail on the train to do it all.
And, in answer to another post, there is no stick rail on the Franklin Branch unless you count the freight only trackage west of Forge Park.
