Yes it is. Forgot to mention with job 1 that day it was originally 80 but they took two off at the last minute and had 1 53 foot containers. And from what I read today yesterday job 1 had 98 with 5 locomotives.

Have they decided to keep the B23s after all, or are they still waiting for more GP38-2s to arrive and then they'll dump the B23s? To be honest and this is my option. I was just up there last week and was watching a number of the CMQ trains out of Brownville Junction and talking to other rail fans ...

Saw photos for 3817 running on job 710 yesterday. Good to see it up and running. Was wondering if any one may know any information about what LTEX unit it was rebuild from. I am guessing one of the GP35 that they got from BNSF but have not had any luck finding any info to look into its history. The ...

Locomotives 8208, 5023, and 5018 left Derby yesterday for NMJ. Looks like they are starting to shipping out the last of the MMA units out of Derby. All three locomotives are still at NMJ. There sitting on a siding with two of Pan Am Russel snow plows. Starting to look like they were moved out of De...

Was wondering if anyone knows the CMQ schedules and times for jobs 1, 2, 202, 211, and 420. I am heading up there and I am wanting to get some pictures of these trains in action.

Saw photos that 9022 was on the Millinocket job today. It's the first time it's been out sence it was delivered. Info from Harry Gordon. Well from what I am hearing 9022 first trip ran into trouble. Saw a pic of it smoking at what looks to be the church street crossing in Brownville junction and th...

Just read today on CMQ Facebook page that LETX 3280 left Derby for Northern Maine Junction. There Pan Am is taking it as it heads back to LETX. Surprised that CMQ didn't try to release it sence they are releaseing all the CITX units, or LETX leased it to another railroad. Info from Matt Sawyer.

While we're on the subject of motive power, it's worth noting that CMQ may have some much newer, bigger, AC power coming. Rumor hazit that they are looking for AC44's or SD70MAC's. Traffic on the Moosehead is up and the barns aren't enough. So stay tuned to see if that develops...I can see where it...

Was worndering if anyone had any updated information on how many GP38-3 CMQ are leaseing off LETX and how soon they would start replacing the B23-7. What I know is 3812 and 3816 have been delivered, and 3817 is being finished up at AMP. I also heard that LETX GP35 2503, 2506, 2541, and 2580 were sen...

LETX 3816 was on job 2 today with CITX 3082, CMQ 9014, CMQ 9024, and LETX 2542. Frederic Pansini posted a video of it heading to Fernham On one of CMQ Facebook page saying it was a power movie for job 1 because there were no cars. Note only CITX 3082 was under power. I read 3816 needs to go to Derby...
