What are CSX's ultimate plans for Rigby; rebuild the yard for carload or will intermodal somehow work into a newly rebuilt and reconfigured yard?

With all of these service issues at CSX, it is a wonder that the CSX-Pan Am merger was granted or at least, it could have been delayed until service returned. Not sure that NS would have been any better if they were the buyer of Pan Am as they are experiencing many of the same types of service issue...

Which bridge has to be replaced in Clinton? Is it a highway bridge or railroad bridge?

Now they have a new CEO. They've realized they are now boxed into a corner for traffic in New England. That on top of the fact that CSX is going to charge then an arm and an a**shole for those B&A traffic rights. So yes, there are some in senior management that wish they would have made a move,...

Yes, "Burncoat " is "Burncoat Street" in Worcester.

Welded rail dropped on both sides of South Meadow Road and on west down to Chase Hill Road also. CWR ready for installation from Burncoat to Clinton.

I took a "field trip" to Clinton today . At approximately 14:00 hours rail train dropping rail moving westbound between Sterling St and New Harbor Rd. overhead bridge in Clinton. A RJ Corman high rail pickup with torches and Corman 10 wheel boom truck following. For those of you who have ...

Once B&E is up and running, I would guess it quite likely that EDPO/POED won't run east of Ayer with all or part of the consists being handled by M426/M427 east of Ayer. How much of EDPO is bound for points east of Ayer out of Deerfield today? Does 16R, which now runs east to Ayer, have cars bo...

CSX stated to regulators during the approval process that they plan to invest more than $100 million in infrastructure improvements across Pan Am lines within the next three years. Post any system-wide improvements to track structure, terminals and yards here as CSX's integration of Pan Am moves for...

Does CP regret selling their lines east of Montreal consisting largely of the old Canadian Atlantic Railway? Could more have been done to make the CAR more profitable verses selling out? Did CP invest too much in the D&H, thinking that would constitute the eastern end of their transcontinental n...

What trackwork is planned for the CM&Q this season in Maine and Eastern Quebec? Has the work already begun? How much of the line has welded rail?

One wonders whether CP management has considered offering Irving a very reasonable sum to re-acquire their line back to Saint John? Maine Northern Railway could receive trackage rights on the line to move Irving forestry products between Brownville Jct. and Saint John. As part of the purchase and sa...

Consider that CP retreated from the region in the mid-90s, indicating they had no hopes for the region's future (and given there is less traffic on the Moosehead now than in the 90s, that thinking was certainly understandable). One wonders whether CP regrets selling the old Canadian Atlantic Railwa...

Lastly, I heard a rumor that I don't want to let any cats out of bags for... but if its true we'll know this month and it would be a major change in the transaction as we know it. Would be a refiling done of the application and could mitigate any 'competitive concerns'. Could you elaborate on what ...
