There is around double that in T&E on the former ST/PAR.

It's an interesting position - almost like an hourly Trainmaster.

That's a common train size with Jay being gone. Still decent tonnage for one customer each way.

Since the track is still in service afaik up to the inbound lead maybe they were just testing the entirety of the branch.

This is the area I was talking about. What are they going to put way up there? https://youtu.be/pFu3KjEBF34?t=388

That big swath up on the hill on the right on that guy's video as he walks also made me suspect it wasn't railroad (or all RR) related. That land is likely not even owned by the RR and would not benefit a couple of extended tracks in any way.

If they moved cars that way NS would get a cut, they won't do that. If they need to extend beyond the two train pairs they'll renegotiate with NS to run more over PAS. PAS is always going to need something that CSX could pay for.

Pretty sure the agreement was for 2 train pairs across PAS before they would need to come up with another agreement so they can get another pair through there.

I don't think they would be clearing south of Military Road (Route 2) south of Winn. That's way down by MP 4 in DCS, seems pretty far south.

Keep it mind these moves may involve Amtrak but they don't get a cut of the waybill. So they would either be dealing with a one originating and one terminating railroad or a single if the P&W does the whole thing.

I think the reality of the situation is, a trail is a much better use of a corridor if there is 0% chance of service being re-established than sitting there to mother nature. Here in the Upper Valley of NH, the Northern rail trail gets an incredible amount of use and the towns it connects are pretty...

Not an answer anyone here has but likely when it makes more financial sense for them to do that than reduce tonnage.

I was referring to the bystander not sharing their evidence.

As for the defoliants, that is not done by water sources. If you look trackside there are markers where the weed sprayer must stop nearing water.

Not cool.

Define passing track. Do you mean the #2 main?

That's what it looked like to me too.
