So worc-Ayer will be double stack cleared by the end of the upcoming construction season! That great for the future of the Worcester main that this is proceeding But less good for the B&E lines which don’t seem to have all that much traffic I would not assume it will get done in one constructio...

No it would not, but will help. The yard is pretty long, some tracks are half a mile, most 3/4 of a mile.

Propane business looks healthy.

No cars for Tyco which is odd isn't it

Seems to me that there are only 3 options for increased capacity: 1 runthrough sj to nmj or waterville 2 more turns per day 3 build out more tracks at keag. Is there space?? All of the above are possible if needed. Each railroad can also stuff both yard tracks instead of just one effectively doubli...

Yep, that job was 3 sided at the time and traffic was pretty healthy when they were marketing the route w/CSX. It pretty much tailed off when they shifted to NMJ when to Keag was taken out of service. They were moving a lot of Moosehead Brewery beer in cryocars too, not sure what happened to that.

Traffic may be fluctuating but the number of cars to and from Irving that are heading through Barbers is way up.

Another said CP will be coming to rerail... I wouldn't take what the news says at face value. Coulda been any eastbound but 264.

10 on the ground, 2 in the river in Valley Falls NY. Route 67 closed.

So many hate tourists, but would...

I have never seen an STB application for something as small as that. These type of agreements are usually just between parties without regulatory concerns. They are happening because both parties just make it so.

Turnout 1 and 2 are in Lowell off the #1 Freight Main only a few feet west of the Western Limits (dwarf signals) of CPF-BY.

There's some fellow on YouTube videos called Maine Railfan or something like that who trolls the videos saying CSX has barely spent any money, etc and so on. Clueless. SMH
