Rail train was at Bearfoot Rd in Northboro today. 136 pound rail had been dropped from Clinton through Berlin and into Northboro. The plan was to drop the rest (to about Ken's) today. The section of the line from south of Newcorr (near the former ToysRUs switch) to Marlborough Junction is already C...

Already done. Reported it right after I observed it.

I think they are going to need a few more train loads of rail. I noticed this in Northborough on Sunday, the day after the CWR went north (photo taken from a public at-grade highway/rail crossing)

Caught two moves on the line today in the Clinton area. The normal loaded C&D heading to Framingham this morning. Certainly unusual for a Saturday. Much more unusual was a loaded rail train that came through about 5pm. Here are pictures from Bolton Station and the Clinton Depot. Passed through ...

I believe I heard a train come into Clinton on Saturday night about 11:30pm. A very unusual move for a Saturday and even more unusual for that late time of day. I heard there may be track work going on starting this week. Last week and this past weekend there was MOW track maintenance equipment tie...

Good Morning All, Going back in the discussion a bit, there are six active customers on the Fitchburg Secondary. From south to north - Safety Kleen (a pair of tanks) - Marlboro Jct, generally switched twice a week (Tues & Thurs) Ken's Foods (tanks and hoppers) - Marlboro, generally gets 3 switc...

Saturday afternoon, April 15th, L004 derailed at least a few loaded C&D gons on the Fitchburg Running Track about 6 car lengths north of the Linden St. grade crossing while headed south towards Framingham. CSXT personnel on scene assessing.

Well it's official. I was at Burncoat St crossing talking with a CSX official, waiting for a single light engine coming from Ayer to Burncoat Street. They were testing the RR crossings to make sure the signal lights and gates were activated far enough up the track for the NEW 25 MPH speed limit up ...

This past Sunday they had only C&D cars for Leominster - no Bestway cars. They went through Southborough later than normal, and tied down for the night on the main just south of the D'Angelo Drive grade crossing in Marlborough, before the Ken's food siding. The Monday crew took the train to Leom...

How many DC's is Amazon building in Mass.? I believe they're also converting the former Showcase Cinema in Revere (right next to the US1/MA-60 circle) to that use. There are two Amazon intermediate distribution (no local trucks - all over the road trucks only) warehouses in Northborough adjacent to...

I noticed a train going south on this line Monday (June 20th) while I was on the 290 overpass. I've yet been able to lock down a time or schedule when the train is in Sterling. Does anyone know how far up towards Leominster does the train make stops and to what company? I'm trying to get some video...

Spencer MA fire reporting "Train vs train collision on the CSX main line by Gauthier Rd. W entrapment. Total of 3 victims transported to UMASS with non life threatening injuries." It appears as if the collision is between CSXT 3144 and a Loram Rail Grinder. Unsure of exact location but may...
