I noted some thoughts in Mr. Coaltrain's post that I quoted about communication between the head end and DPU need to be further probed to see if there was any way that the DPU may have kept shoving the consist to derail in the manner that it did after the initial 23rd car had broken away from the f...

Subhead: Meanwhile, misinformation-full media frenzy, driven by uninformed reporting by local and national media and stoked by various groups who appear to be leveraging the derailment and its aftermath to support their own agendas, has been spreading faster than the fire that resulted from it.

I seem to remember a pretty regular run over the river to set-off and pick-up in West Springfield for EDPL, mid to late nineties anyway (man it was a long time ago now :wink: ).

All 6 in East Deerfield now.

ED-2 southbound tonight with the MEC 348 sporting what looked to be new fancy-pants LED headlights.

No heritage units. 2 Gevos and a dash 9.

There's a real nice fresh SD90 rebuild on 14R canned just east of there at Buckland though lol

22K on the ground in Charlemont. Sounds like all 3 NS units and quite a few cars. All appeared upright. Terrible location just east of the Berkshire East crossing ( which is blocked as well )
