No implications, they don't run enough coal trains currently to factor into retaining ownership or not. So if they were planning to sell/lease, it would happen irregardless of Bow.

FYI the state of NH owns north of Concord, not NEGS/VRS.

Is that DCS still or Industrial? If the latter mileposts only matter for valuation and not on the ground operational purposes.

Do they still serve the grain elevator in Leeds? Might not be the total end of the branch if the new owners of the Jay mill site ship by rail. Yeah a few cars every trip. The farm got into legal trouble a few years back and the number of chickens at the facility had to be cut and thus so did the in...

I have a feeling ND Paper wont be long for this world. Old Town is closed for good as well as another mill they bought a few years ago. Once Rumford is gone I would expect the branch will be done for good east of Rileys, if the OSB plant ships a substantial amount of product by rail. I assume you m...

Option 1 and 2 could be performed right in Waterville. So it could be option 3- back to GE Leasing.

I can't believe people actually took the time to write so much about how this rumor (which I said was wild) won't work. It's so far-fetched it's not really worthy of anything but a laugh, which is all I thought all it would get. oops

I think there are likely greater obstacles to this ever coming to fruition besides a stack clearance issue.

There is a wild rumor going around Billerica that with the Casco dredging CN is interested is redeveloping the old BM Baked Bean plant and the adjacent marina into a new container port. They would buy back and run the GT the whole way. I'm sure CSX would love that to happen right in their new back y...

Excellent news even if no rail loads come of it, but that's doubtful.

Yep. Even back in the days of the Big G we would get a train in Lowell and it was a roll of the dice where it was going. Would we set the Deerfields off somewhere and go to Barbers? Would we set the Barber's off and go to Deerfield? Would we combine with another train? Whole train one way or the oth...

Keep in mind "New England Zone" is only what they are referring to the engineering area as, as far as operations wise it's the New England Division.

So worc-Ayer will be double stack cleared by the end of the upcoming construction season! That great for the future of the Worcester main that this is proceeding But less good for the B&E lines which don’t seem to have all that much traffic I would not assume it will get done in one constructio...
