Funny you should ask. SU-99 dropped of 8 car loads of new ties at Lackawaxen last night 10/15/11

8 cars is a good start! Keep us updated on their progress.

Yeah, maybe next summer they will be up to 88 cars!!!

That'd be great! I'm still hoping for 40mph at some point. haha

BHWX arrived this am at Narrowsburg with 10 rail cars full of new ties and started unloading them from MP-128 and East.
More cars at BQ.

Do you happen to know if this work might increase the speed to 40mph over that section of the line? Sounds like some big time trackwork is headed that way.

Who knows, but it seems the NS Through freights are inevitable!!
