Fantrip versus trackage rights.
Are they pretty reliable at making decisions quickly or are they like other freight railroads
The reason I'm asking is because I was on that special that met a metro north train at Waterbury station
Ran really well

That's true 529 was the power on that trip in 2005
And 2525 was on the rear end of the metro north set with fl9m's 2027-2016
529 and 1732 where both operational then
one was a photo freight and 529 had 3 passenger cars

And I still had hair then.

A post on the GRS_Railfans Yahoo group stated that NH 41, a restored Budd RDC car, is enroute from the Hobo RR in Lincoln NH down to the Naugy. Is this true? Is this a new acquisition/purchase? I know the NH "Roger Williams" used to be at the Danbury museum before being moved to Lincoln for restoration, and another RDC (41?). Did the o/p on the group get the destination railroad wrong?
Heard at last report its at the Pan-Am Deerfield/South Deerfield yard.

Maybe this RDC is just going to live at and be maintained by Naugy for the next year or two until it's ready to go to BSRM.
The post I saw said the "New Haven" Budd Car #41. It was up on the Hobo RR in Lincoln NH (where the rest of the Roger Williams set is), and posts said it was interchanged to PAS/PAR at Concord NH, and at last report was at the PAS Deerfield Yard. The one going to the BSRM is coming from Maine.
I was just curious if the op got it wrong and its actually going back to Danbury or if it truly is going to the Naugy.

Jay:
I'm sure you will hear about it when it lands up at its final destination, unless it is just sitting in Deerfield for yucks.
I haven't heard of any other posts saying that it was at Deerfield.
To the Naugy I can understand the routing being primarily a straight shot, but to Danbury? That must get interesting with P&W getting involved, or the How-say-tanic/CSX.
You'd think that this place would be the primary source of rumours, not Yahoo.

The #41 RDC-1 (New Haven RR) is well and restored as of 1999. It is presently on the way to Lincoln, NH for additional work. Much of the original damage to the car in the 66' wreck has been corrected. There is some remaining minor damage that cannot be corrected.
On another note, Paul, I have seen your pictures of the #41 car on the net, and would like larger copies for my files.
Can you email me?
Thanks,

Plus, the service will operate to a temporary terminal until the last mile of track is restored. Sorry to hijack the RMNE thread, I'll post this also in BSRM.

That RDC is part of Jim Gagliardi's RDC collection New Haven #41 also known as former Amtrak #14, and I don't think its sold to anyone.

"Hey now".... I wasn't starting any rumours (or at least that wasn't my intent). I just was curious as to why a piece of equipment that was at the DRM several years ago, then at the Hobo in Lincoln, is now in transit to the Naugy. That's all. It's obviously going to the Naugy since if it was DRM bound, it would have gone, well, god knows which way these days.
And at the last report, it was on a train bound for CT on Pan-Am, in Springfield. And its NOT the one going to the BSRM's new operating home.
