New Hampshire Central Railroad (NHCR) Discussion

FYI - most empty/residue placarded cars need to be buried by at least 1 car from the engines or occupied caboose.

Loaded cars have to be buried by 5 cars if train length permits (ie if there are 5 non hazmat cars in the train to use as spacers). This is why they get away with only using 1 spacer in unit trains.

There are exceptions to the rule - some placarded cars are not considered hazmat like the Sodium Chlorate (UN 1495)hoppers and hot asphalt tankers (UN 3257) - they can all go right next to the engines.

NHCR 7324 came south with 1 Boxcar at 1500 headed south towards Hazen.

I just drove through hazen and I saw NHCR with some tankers ready to come back up to Grovton, NH.

They came thru northbound at noon Thursday. NHCR 7324 , 1 boxcar and 25 tank cars .

Was up in Groveton this morning NHCR 7324 and 1 boxcar was down at the end of the yard. SLR must have picked up the tank cars over the weekend. The was a pile of new ties laying by the siding for the NHCR. SLR Track truck was parked up the crossing. Looks like NHCR will be running this week maybe.

NHCR 7324 just went thru Lancaster at 1330 headed south towards Hazen with one boxcar.

I was in Whitefield, NH this morning and I was coming up to the crossing on route 3 next to dunkin donuts. I look at the crossing and I see dirt pick up between the rail and the road, like a high rail truck or something went through.

7324 came south thru on Wednesday at 0730AM with 1 Boxcar and returned north at 1230PM with 20 Tank cars. This morning 7324 came back south pushing the 20 tank cars. They are now placing the cars on the siding behind Go Go Gas. Not real sure whats happening with that. At 1050 AM they went north with 8 tank cars leaving the rest on the siding behind GO GO Gas.

NHCR 7324 just went thru Lancaster with 1 Boxcar and 13 Tank cars headed to Groveton.

NHCR7324 came back south with one boxcar at 1500 headed towards Hazen.

NHCR 7324 came south thru Lancaster at 1250PM headed south with one covered hopper. I do not know if that was a spacer car for the tank cars or a car for Presby Plastics. Presby has been getting pellets delivered to the old Issacson Steel plant in Berlin by the SLR.

I think it's for presby, its in the unloading area where presby trucks can get to it.

SLA 3007 sitting near the engine house in N Stratford as of this morning. Also the Whitefield yard east and south of the bridge have recently been clear cut and mowed. I haven't seen it this well groomed in a long time.

NHCR 7324 came north thru Lancaster with 14 tank cars at 0930AM and NHCR7324 returned at 1130AM deadheading south towards Hazen at 1130AM.

NHCR 7324 came north this morning at 0900AM 25 Tank cars headed to Groveton . Sorry for the delay posting.
