This is a thread about crew shortages. Not some hypothetical fairyland where a railroad is going to be divvied up piecemeal. PAS moves a tremendous amount of tonnage. They cannot even come close to handling the potential that their customers want to move by rail. This is why many of us are floored ...

I'm not sure they even run to Odell, someone told me only to Pine Grove? Talking with an employee it sounds like someone is interested in buying the whole thing, hopefully there will be some positive movement soon. One possible dark spot on the radar though is that the SDS Mill across the Columbia i...

Let me see if that image will work this way: https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/242315092_5193321134016980_8188859140307869067_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=825194&_nc_ohc=TCn88PPrKtgAX8Dk8MK&_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.xx&oh=dbfd01f51a5287dba63ec0e05ed64a2e&oe=6...

I was in Odell today and took this picture of the transload facility there. I noticed a month or two ago that they tore down the metal storage buildings that they used to put lumber in before shipping. It wasn't until today when I had reason to cross the tracks that I noticed they have put a new sec...

Not sure if this will work, but lets give it a try.... Here is a link to a photo on Facebook, posted by Jacob A Whitten with the caption "Took this this morning in Enfield. The first centerbeam being loaded" https://scontent.fhio3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/238153643_4287418961326372_8420...

FWIW, the big glass recycler here in Oregon ships in covered hoppers

Nice photos and video; thanks for posting

Boy, washed away? In order to wash away the bridge, that river would have to rise 20 feet higher than its level in the photo. Whatever year that was, the spring runoff must have been ferocious!

So why wouldn't VRS ask for trackage rights? If they could connect directly with NS and CSX in New York, and maybe with CSX in Springfield (or Palmer, or Ayer, or Worcester?) it seems like they might be better off than they are now, no?
