Re: Bridge over Selkirk Yard

Not only did "Ben's Bridge" get removed but the bridge's southern embankment that provided a commanding elevated view of the locomotive servicing tracks, hump, and receiving yard has been leveled so CSX could add another through track. Net: there's nowhere to park and fraternize with local...

Palmer MA would be a good place to gawk!

Where is the Town of Hopedale getting the money to keep funding this legal quagmire?

Apparently due to changed judicial circumstances in the Town of Hopedale's long-running attempt to take G&U's under development West St property, G&U is requesting the STB to re-open a filing that the STB had closed as it appeared the matter was resolved by various Massachusetts courts: Graf...

From what I read on-line, Maine is having a trash disposal/recycling crisis - perhaps it will join other New England states and start shipping municipal waste to out-of-state landfill facilities?

Millers Railfan video of Monday 4/8/24 shows Norfolk Southern hi-rail truck taking a ride down the Voorheesville connector from S Main St to somewhere. Track looks pretty good.

And there also appears to be a new CP-499 distant signal being installed just east of the northbound I-88 overpass over the Albany main. I guess the old distant signal at Schoharie Turnpike will be retired? Q: where will NS crew change point be for the. new IM trains routed via Voorheesville? Delans...

I did a CP-VO Voorheesville drive-by on Friday 3/8/24 and observed that NS-CSX connection turnout machine is installed along with the home signals (nothing active) and the NS Albany Main distant signal has been installed at Hennessey Rd Voorheesville 2 miles west of CP-VO in the middle of Black Cree...

How did New Haven FL9s get past this East Haven bridge obstruction - were their 3rd rail shoes lifted when not in use?

I'm guessing this block of Irving lumber is headed for Selkirk via CSX M427? Or would some of it be headed for PAS/NS at Ayer? I'm guessing any Irving lumber bound for NS would go via CP across the Moosehead?

I thought all Davisville racks came to P&W at Worcester via CSX M438 these days? Is NS/PAS once again delivering racks to P&W at Gardner (prior to the D3 derailment)?
