Tie job was started in Portsmouth yard today, the equipment has been there a couple weeks now. They are currently working on the two stub tracks close to the mill pond, they were in pretty bad shape. We'll see weather they do the whole yard, time will tell. They are doing ties up on the runaround at...

Yes #2 main, train was still there this moring at 9:30 also.

Rail train with 5933/ 7643 arrived Dover at 16:00 on the passing siding. Track crew was waiting for them and shortly after they started unloading rail for the passing track. I left after they pulled the first string. Not sure if they will tie down in Dover there or head to Rigby.

Three pieces of MOW equipment dropped of in Portsmouth yard between yesterday and today, stay tuned!!!

The Loram ditching rig is on its way into Portsmouth crossed Rte-33 at 11:15 They ditched a stretch between Portsmouth Ave and Rte-33 when I saw them.

DO-1 came into Portsmouth early afternoon with 1Tyco and 16 propane, Probably up to Sea-3 pulling empty's at 4:00 PM

Yes, or you mean that crew is a local crew on Sundays (only) going by PH-1?
There is probably a new CSX symbol for it also just like LO 63/64 for DO-1/2 I'm an old dog haven't learned the new trick yet!!

It all depends lately its been 4 to 5 roundtrips. DO-2 didn't run Friday night so the train is still in Portsmouth. So the PH-1 Crew will probably take it to Rigby and head it back possibly getting back to Portsmouth for DO-1 to take over Monday morning. PH-1 is the gravel train crew which doesn't r...

Job runs Rigby to Portsmouth and back. DO-2 usually runs it to Portland from wherever DO-1 leaves off and gets it as far back to Portsmouth as they have time to. Could be left at Dover, Rockingham or all the way into Portsmouth.

My buddy just caught it headed east through Durham NH at 6:45 this morning!!

Tie job in full swing today on Freight 1 and 2 in Dover yard. BODO did a live re-crew on the mainline around 10:35. While I was there a boom truck brought in another load of new ties. Also on Ne-rail today a photo of NA-1 at Hendricks showed a couple bundles of new ties in the background!!

Friday afternoon in Dover Yard there were Four pieces of MOW equipment sitting by the trailer. looked like a tie inserter, tie handler with cart of ties, spiker and something else. Not sure where they are working but guessing close by.

The tamper and regulator that have been sitting in Portsmouth Yard since last October have been trucked out. The tamper left last night and the regulator this morning, it went southbound on Rte-95

They are getting everything from ship, There has been three ships since Thanksgiving.

I suspect D0-2 may come back at some point. There has been no Propane to Sea-3 for almost 2 months, when that comes back on it will get busy again.
