Not really, considering the NHCR operating lease only covers to the Connecticut River, and CSXT owns the rest to St. Johnsbury.

Keep looking

They have approx. 30yrs in the current pit available. They also own across the road on the west side of Rt 16, which I believe has about 50-80yrs worth estimated. So, NHN is really operating on borrowed time, once the sand disappears, so does the railroad. No the ownership by BS&G disappears. Th...

If the customers are interested in rail service, NHN has been open to adding non-sand customers over the years. They are only interested in an amount of non-sand customers that generate just enough that their sand ships free, which is why you only have HarMac, Eastern and the occasional oil cars. I...

Timber and rivet replacement.

Of note, ST Postings returned in yesterdays job email.

They are looking at shipping by rail again and discussions have happened and quite recently too. A bridge survey is to be done this spring at the Contoocook River bridge which will most likely dictate how much further those discussions go.

Not gonna happen. You're going to see a decent amount of work on this line come spring. It's just not on the high list right now as the main is.

You qualify on territory, not speed.
