But isn't this a unique point in time where the rail line actually IS for sale, and the current owner has no interest in retaining freight rights? Pan Am is (apparently) selling; lock stock and freight rights; if the state of NH or any buyer buys they get it all.

As of a couple weeks ago Mount Hood's two locomotives and what looks to be all of the passenger equipment are still on site. Their main (only?) freight customer, the mill that transloads in Odell, has added a second shift and there seems to be no shortage of lumber loads going out

As of a few days ago the 02 (GP38-2) was still on the property, and it looks like most of the passenger cars are still here. There were what seemed like way more lumber racks full and empty than usual down at the interchange
