What work is being done on the tracks from New Bond up to around Duncans? I'm not sure what kind of machine it was, but it had a crane on it. It broke a hydraulic line so they had to fix the line and get hydraulic fluid at auto zone. Does anyone know the machine and what work is being done?

I stand to be corrected. My apologies. Would CSX have to buy or lease the second track from P&W?

It's an operational bottleneck, it doesn't matter how many P&W trains use it per day. I just don't see CSX, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy and upgrade Pan AM, leaving control of the access point with the rest of the system in the hands of another railroad. Especially since...

I don't see how it could be possible the have a line from CP45 to barber without rehabbing the dormant second line that just sits there. Once all Engineers are certified, I don't think another set of irons is necessary because the train wont recrew or tie down anymore. It will go straight through. P...

Thanks for that information. Now I understand things better. Is that why I don't hear Y120 anymore?

Just saw what I assume the M426 although I thought I heard L 0048, get a form D from CP45 to Burncoat. It was stacked with a lot of rail heading north. I'm not sure where it's heading.

All the heavy rain yesterday and last night did a lot of damage in Leominster. I saw some videos on the tv of the damage and railroad tracks were in the picture. Does anybody have any information as to what might be compromised?

I took a ride and meandered around Pratt's Junction area. I also saw the empty lumber car that was empty on the siding in back of some company. Still didn't get a picture yet , but I will. I saw a track car coming east on Friday when I was going over the Rt 85 overpass.

I was up there and happened to catch the 1:25pm come into Wachusett station. It caught me off guard, because it came in from the west. I was looking for it to come from the east. It sat at the station for about 10 minutes.

When CSX completed the track rehab, there was a test consisting of one engine traveling at 25 mph from Ayer to Worcester. There was a CSX rep at every crossing, conversing with an official at the next crossing, timing the single engine for every crossing. It stopped at Burncoat, and the CSX supervis...
