Norfolk Southern Hoosac Tunnel Service Update.

In "normal" times the OCS might make a run to western MA to view the repaired Hossac Tunnel, once it reopens and the backlog of trains is taken care of. However, with this Coronavirus situation, I think the OCS will stay "at home" in the barn at Waterville until the all clear is ...
There was a 16R Detour Train by Greenfield with about 70 cars at 0731 this morning (4/4) heading for Bellows Falls. Maybe the last westbound detour train???
The combined ED and WA wreck train returned to Waterville yesterday (Saturday) afternoon.
No word when the ED train will head west back to its home base at ED.
Anyone fanning in the Pittsfield MA area, be advised that a CSX "official" recently ordered some fans to leave an area that has been used by fans for many years.

NS and CSX got into a dispute on moving auto rack and container trains. So NS and PAR, along with the NECR and the VRS opened a second routing. Begins at Crescent (west of Mechanicville) up the CP (D&H) to Whitehall NY, over to Rutland and Bellows Falls on the VRS, down to Millers Falls on the N...
I have a second hand report that the station will be moved onto a new foundation which will facilitate adding running water
and other amenities.
In FY2017 Wells had 68,752 passengers. In FY2018, Wells had 56,898 passengers which averages out to nearly a 1,000 decrease.

Seems strange. I am unaware of any tourism or other travel issue affecting southern York County that might have been a factot.
