Is there a dedicated thread for the Mansfield incident? Not sure why its here.....

I believe the foxboro train has run about 12 cars on occasion.

Is B729 still a night job?

Yes Otto all of New England. Maybe less then 10' or so. I just think its interesting seeing rail lines pass so close to existing homes. I always wonder was the house there first or did someone really like the idea of putting a building so close to the rail.

Great stuff thanks mikej!

Putting freight sidings aside can anyone name some spots where houses and buildings are really close to the tracks?

The white building next to the tracks in Peabody sq. is really close(looks like its 5' feet from the rail).

Thanks!

Do the green line, red, blue etc. have any physical connections between them? Not sure if any of the lines share any mow equipment or something.

I think this was asked a while ago but i couldnt find the thread.

Thanks!

Haul Rd

This all part of my plan. I will have last surviving model trainset on earth therefore i will have the greatest model train set on earth.

Massport has its phase 1 haul road project out to bid. It cuts thru/behind the old tank farms and power plant(what f line mentioned earlier in the thread). It more or less follows a route a rail line to conley would need to take. I looked at the drawings and theres nothing rail related being built(i...

Looking at current maps it almost seems like the building of this line/bridge serves nothing more than a short cut to avoid running a train thru Clinton.

Was this an important route at one time(i have no idea of the history)?

Out of curiosity how much work would it take to fix the track to reach the warehouses at the of the line? Theres a big US food service warehouse at the end of the line and sysco just bought them out.

I was down there Sunday. They had 2 steam engines running (2 and 21 I think) . Big changes going on all over the property.

Just saw csx w/10 box cars (B732?) using the wye heading toward foxboro.

Does the GU have a wye?
