So I wrote the railroad to ask the status this was their reply: Good morning, The project is still in the works. Trying to work out Admin and financial needs. Work to begin in earnest later this year. Sincerely, CRR From: Don Anne <messages@fareharbor.me> Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2024 8:11 AM To: ...

We were coming back from our summer home in Delaware and arrived about 15 minutes after the strike. There was debris from the tank supports on the road by the center lane barrier. Also at that time the south bound lanes were closed due to several small accidents caused by rubber necking. We were may...

It's been 6 months since any discussion on the expansion of the line to a new transload facility. Anyone in the area seen any indications of the work starting or does more property need to be purchased?

Is there any updates on the work they were starting earlier this year? They were starting to clear brush heading toward the foundry.

Any word on the laying of the 2 miles of additional track mention in an interview? Back in December there were pictures on their Facebook site of brush cleaning on part of the line and reference made there would be exciting news in 2023.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4VSnujsm5E Video of a coke train. The video mentions the coke is transloaded into trucks for delivery. Has anyone seen the new trans load yard? Are they working on extending the line toward the Boyertown foundry? There is very little information on either of the face...

From the G&U Linkedin site about the activities at the Milford Yard: GU was able to coordinate rail shipments of steel from Mexico with the help of CJ Shaughnessy crane to support the tremendous growth in Boston. Collaboration between GU’s John DeWaele, CSX, Grupo Recall and CJ Shaughnessy crane...

Any idea what it's for? Temporary or permanent transload location? Preparation of something new for MBTA? Just curious on why the activity at that site.

Here is a picture of the railroad's new transload in Boyertown. It doesn't show much from this angle, but gives you an idea of what's there.

I hope link works.

We'll have to follow developments on this new 2 mile extension. I thought any plans to go through that intersection at Walmart would be met with stiff opposition, like before. I may be totally out to lunch, maybe the 2 miles would include yard track at the transload facilities and sidings for the 2 ...

Thanks Jim. If you trace the old right of way on Google maps and go 2 miles from the current end of track, it takes you right to the quarry. I know there was interest by the quarry many years ago but Walmart didn't play nice and killed it. In that interview it was stated that extension was for 2 on ...

Nathaniel Guest of the Colebrookdale Railroad gave an interview which I've attached. I was interested in the development of their freight business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmyRuukJdNg At around the 27:00 mark he talks about what is happening. The two main items where: 1) The completion of a ...

Thank you. I was looking around for a current list and couldn't find one.

Does anyone know the current engine roster for the Adirondack Railroad? There have been purchases and selling of equipment lately. It appears they are going for an all ALCO roster. Thank you for any information.

The initial geologic analyses has already been completed. There is real value of the material on the ground, no mining necessary. There may be additional value in the rare earths, more testing and evaluating is needed. How do I know this, because the company I work for did the survey and initial ana...
