Does any one know what is going on with the Belle Dock Northern Rail Services was rebuilding the line in to it They tamped it then that was it? All the switches are in but not connected there is still a loco that is landlocked ready to come out!
The project is expected to continue and one of the final phases is supposed to be to run new rail to all the facilities on the west side of Waterfront St.(ie,Gateway Terminal,Logistec etc.) and that landlocked 44 tonner should be free to run the rails once more.The timing of this I am not certain as the dates keep changing.
I work at the power plant at the end of Waterfront St and they keep telling us that they are going to build a new gate for us to enter on Connecticut Ave and Waterfront St will become a private road off limits to facilitate the construction and use of rails on Waterfront St.I have been hearing this for many years however. I believe Kitn1mcc works at the United Illuminating part of this complex and maybe he heard something?
Providence and Worcester railroad has taken steel coil delivery from the docks and shipped them twice from these tracks.Once about 9 weeks ago and once a couple years ago.
Hopefully one day these rails will reach their full potential and when more activity happens I will start to post it here as it appears there may be some interest.
