I think it is also worth noting that there really is reason to believe that there would be some demand for freight. Three commodities in particular come to mind, sand/gravel, propane and steel (there is a company in Fryeburg currently shipping via NHN). The propane would take a little more time to develop but there are a lot of dealers in the Fryeburg area, some with previous rail shipping history/experience. There may also be some demand for agricultural loads such as bulk grain and/or fertilizer.
