You are correct about Coheno Lumber in Stoughton, Mass. Although there are a few other sidings along that line that begins at Canton Jctn , and South into downtown Stoughton only the lumber yard is active. Over a decade ago there was a run away lumber car that got loose from the lumber yard siding ...

Worcester? That's great to hear! That tells me that CSXT isn't planning on selling. We always figured that they would dump East Worcester & West Springfield asap. Most people expected CSXT to sell off anything & Everything east of the Hudson. Again, good luck.

Congrats and good luck. Just curios, which auto facility did CSXT get rid of contractors??

Just an Amfleet with the Financial Times advertisement wrap. When did you see this? There were already an Amfleet I Coach (#81592) and an Amfleet I Business Class (#81502) with this wrap last month. I have photos of the 81502, but RRNet is giving me issues uploading them.

Holiday Inn in Randolph is just about in between Braintree & Rte 128, right off the highway (I-93). It's right on State Route 28, which would be a 10 minute drive right to Mattapan.

Getting back to the original poster's questions. Yes, the Café is open all night except for closing during the power swap in WAS & during the dwell in NYP as Acela150 stated. As much as I agree with Tadman regarding eating in the terminals, that's really not an option while traveling on 66. In W...

Too bad you guys don't have system seniority. If I remember correctly, didn't you say your daughter was down there?

Is the BM&LP still running? Is it difficult to follow when railfanning?

There are 2 Indian Tribes in the area,Navajo and Ute Mountain. Both have their own PD's and are considered "Sovergin Nations" with their own laws. How are they if you were to be on their territory or property while trying to follow/photograph the railroad. Are they ok as long as outsiders...
