Does this guy have some vested interest in the something being shipped over the D&H or this just how he as a good time? From my readings of his many, many filings, very much the latter. He actually managed to get the D+H disposal of their trackage rights south of Sunbury halted on a technicalit...

All this talk of trips to WRJ must have trickled down, BF-1 made a run north last night with a car for the CCR.

Now that guy is a piece of work! Wonder where he gets the money to keep filing all those petitions? I read the D+H stuff, seems he is trying a slightly different tactic from the last time he tried to tender an Offering of Financial Assistance on a trackage rights case (he tried to purchase the right...

The only American Rock Salt traffic the VRS handles is on the NYOG to the shed at Norwood. Currently, all the other salt that terminates on the VRS is from Cargill.

More than you could ever want to know about Locomotive horn and bell use at crossings (49 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter II, Part 222, Subpart B, Subsection 222.21(2) for the exact reference you are looking for.)

There is a turn job based out of E. Deerfield (EDBF/BFED) and a local based out of Bellows Falls (BF-1). Both jobs work 5 days a week, with extras called as needed on weekends. The ED crew is on at 1630, and the BF-1 crew is on at 1800, both Monday through Friday.

I'm pretty sure VB103 is still active, we (VRS) use (lease/borrow, I don't know the details) it when the WACR needs to be cleared.

Since I finally have stable internet service, and I don't feel like walking around in the sub-zero temps just yet I figured I would post up some times/observations on my trip south on #55. I started my trip in Bellows Falls, and ended in Washington, DC. Power was 105 top, 203 tail, with the usual 4 ...

Tonights 296 will have the Scenic View (SLRG 511) departing from Rutland, VT. I'm don't know its final destination, so I can't say where it will go after Albany.

I'll be hanging out at the VRS booth in the Mallory building both days, I'll be the bearded gentleman in a very bright t-shirt!

I've booked a seat on the Vermonter for early January from Bellows Falls south, my usual departure station is Rutland but I couldn't pass up a chance to go for a ride on the new steel! I will try to remember to post up a report of how it goes.

The actual filing, for those so interested. Big ol' PDF, so proceed accordingly.
