Just to clarify things, DO-1 is a Monday-Friday local with Saturdays and Sundays off. Most likely this was PH-1, which does Dover/Portsmouth work Sunday nights, and DOBO/BODO Monday-Thursday night.

CPF-JK is getting phased in now. EDPO and the commuter rail trains had to get a rule 241 to pass the stop signal it was displaying last night.

And seemingly lost in all of the complaining by the NIMBYs is the fact that all of the area fire chiefs have no issues with Sea-3 expanding.

They seem to run in daylight hours for the most part. I've seen them in the mornings, and this particular time it was in the afternoon. They've been getting tanks of vegetable oil, and gondolas with plastic covers on them recently. If you drive over broadway and see cars on the rigby side a long way...

I'm beginning to think that no one from Portsmouth had any model train layouts in their basement as a child. They already restrict Pan Am from storing hazmat in city limits, and clearly don't want Sea-3 to expand.

Yes PO-7 is still there. They switch in Rigby for 2 nights and do local work the other 3. I don't remember which days they do what. There is a PO-8 as well. Early morning switcher, Monday-Friday.

I just realized I gave the wrong description of PO-4. It should have read: PO-4: Rigby switcher Saturday-Wednesday, relief job for PO-3 and PO-5.

DO-1 switches mainline customers between Rigby and Rockingham, switches the customers on the Saco Industrial track, and switches customers in Portsmouth/Newington. PH-1 does DO-1 customers on Sundays, and DOBO/BODO Monday-Thursday. They are based out of Dover, NH. What about the interchange with Ma...

I have no idea what kind of schedule they run on, but I have seen a yellow trackmobile at the broadway crossing so I can confirm that is what Turner's Island is using to move cars around. Too bad I was in my car and couldn't get a picture!

Yeah I meant double tracking from CPF 195 to CPF 194.

Even double tracking from CPF 195 to CPF 192 would make a difference.
