How does NS get into MA?

Hi all

I was wondering how NS power usually gets to MA. It can't be through CSX because the coal trains come through Hoosac Tunnel to get to Guilford's East Deerfield yard.

I was wondering how NS power usually gets to MA.

NS has trackage/haulage rights on D&H & Guilford from Binghamton, NY to Waterville ME, I believe.

Check the map:

But how do they get to NY? Are they based out of VA?

As you can see on their system map here, they operate the Southern Tier line through Binghamton. Yes -- they're headquartered in VA, but operate where you see the green lines on the map on the other end of the link I posted. They get to NY on those green lines that represent the tracks they own.
