Seems to me that there are only 3 options for increased capacity: 1 runthrough sj to nmj or waterville 2 more turns per day 3 build out more tracks at keag. Is there space?? Well I guess my point about POSJ/SJPO is that they made it work 10 years ago, so they certainly can again. I do recognize how...

POSJ/SJPO moved a good bit of lumber off MNR and out of Atlantic Canada back in the early 2010s. The traffic has been there for sure, just moved other ways.

While L070 has been running at night, I have noticed a return of larger trains parked out by PT Tower stretching over the Fore River. Without the water traffic too this is a very good sign. Still a lot of meat to pick off that bone too, but the next step they need to get L070, 071 and 072 consolidat...

No 121 for the second day in a row.

SJ is outside of the scope of the Gemini network according to Hapag (specifically it mentions Europe - Canada trades). That doesn't mean they are going away, its just not part of the new combined Hapag/Maersk service offerings.... at least yet.

I'm not trying to be that guy but I do have to admit I'm curious when FGLK will pull up the camp stakes and call it a life on this outfit. I'm thinking ASA can be served occasionally via CSX potentially even Dicaperl if they can take cars in bunches of 5 or so at a time. This assumes that Amtrak tak...

The current owner of Dragon has neglected it for years. It should have been rebuilt many eons ago, but prior owners failed to make that investment. From what I gather, the plant has been worn out since the end of the Boston Big Dig. Since then the owners have limped it along. Currently they can onl...

Washout on NBSR

Irving had one too-- lots of rain in short period of time down east, plus melting of any snow compounding the issue.

The pictures of the 4020 also had it coupled to the 4024. SLR is still supposed to get some from what I've been told as of recent.

PR invested $20M between Dover and Jackman and $25M for Enfield as a greenfield site. $4.2M of this was public grant monies. $500M is way outside the capital strength of PR, but is also an enormous sum of money for timber operations of any sort outside of large scale industrial manufacturing (engine...

Guess they're still working the kinks out of the operation on the Irving side, as none of the cars have been interchanged yet by them. Have to remember last time they ran that interchange the road job 907/908 handled the work. It could easily be 2 or 3 hours of switching around between the Pan Am si...

Amtrak snagged $27M for Brunswick to Mass state line for track work... also CSX throwing in ~$7M. 124,000 ties... thats not joke... wonder how they'll handle passenger service while doing that work. Also seems the future of Midcoast (unrelated) is determined as an Amtrak only line. I suspect CSX wil...

I have a tough time seeing it happen-- CN has a parallel line and customers lose optionality from going UP, CPKC or CN to being captive CN. STB is going to be harsh
