Regarding the Dover Station "tenant": A year ago there was a proposal for a bagel shop. In the end, the operator essentially wanted nothing to do with the DE passengers, except if they were buying bagels, etc. This time around with the deli operation, there is a extensive lease agreement t...

Such a move would shake up quite a bit of New England rail service.

A long shot, but maybe David Swirk, owner of the Conway Scenic, would like to dabble in the common carrier side of the freight business on the Rockland Branch. He could also operate passenger excursion service. Rockland is 130 miles from North Conway, so little or no competition with each other.

BF1 must be fouling the main line, as Amtrak is showing service disruption for #57 and #54.

Amtrak #687 is due at Dover at 7:51 PM. DOBO will leave Dover after that. If the NHN brought down empty LPG or steel cars, those have to be set off at Dover before departing. D2 usually gives DOBO a Form D to leave Dover over the radio. Travel time from Dover to Rockingham probably runs in the 30 mi...
