I rarely go east either but the few times I have we've had to hold at Wells for a limping PAR freight or they're sponging up somebody in Biddeford. Going west, until Atkinson it's dead trains or track, once in T territory, its signals.

I'm surprised the OTP is that high. I ride maybe once a year anymore, and every time there's a broken rail, or a dead freight train, or a suicide by train... or maybe the powers that be just see my name on the manifest and plan an interruption?

Jay, Next time you refuel at the 330/331 Cumby's would you please include a fuel price report? I know the Unified station up the street is cheaper, but Cumby's has better snacks.

Now that you mention it, there's one of those types very local to Rockingham. If you know who's doing it in Ayer, drop a d...

MeC 501 is a class W Consolidation . It was acquired from the 470 club. I'm not sure when or where they obtained it. A few years ago its boiler tubes, which were new replacements, were removed and installed in the 7470.

The wreck occurred at old MP 51, where the west bound t...

Nice photo. Is that an RPO I see ahead of the baggage car?

I just became aware that CSRX is no longer giving discounts to Mass Bay RRE members. Are things that tight or is there another reason?

The plan to do something with the property seems to be moving forward. I went off the reservation today and noticed that the shop buildings are indeed gone, the property is a barren lot. Just speculating, but it must be a recent development as the machines that did the deed are still there. I'm surp...

It only takes money.

Noted one reefer car on the fish spur Thursday morning , 3 Feb.

A UL listing doesn't necessarily mean squat. It doesn't even have to be the radio itself, it could have been a chafed through power cable TO the radio causing a short, and as bpiche said, plenty of wood inside the cab, probably some oil cans, rags, seat cushions, etc, etc, etc. as well.
