That makes sense -- and dollars.

John, based on a pair of reporting marks used in old WACR reports by Fritz, Cargill is the correct answer.

AD-1 took 36 loads of salt to North Benn on Monday and another 12 today. Monday they left with 11 empty salts destined for NS.
Did we ever hear a music sweeter than the one that thrills, as it floats along the Deerfield, as it echoes o'er the hills.-E. A. Fitch
How we watch that little engine as it stalks across the plain; was there ever music sweeter, was there ever sight completer, than the coming of the train?
RJED was out of the tunnel around 1300. 3401-600-3403 and 93 cars.

22K on the ground in Charlemont. Sounds like all 3 NS units and quite a few cars. All appeared upright. Terrible location just east of the Berkshire East crossing ( which is blocked as well )
2 engines and 10 cars off. Derailment caused brush fires. Pandemonium. Lol
Bridge Street blocked Tower Rd closed due to bad bridge.

I think I may need to take a step or two back from the Pan Am RoW when I'm taking pictures of moving trains!
No heritage units. 2 Gevos and a dash 9.
There's a real nice fresh SD90 rebuild on 14R canned just east of there at Buckland though lol

I had heard 14 cars on the ground, blocking both mains. Probably just an estimate. Wondering if this was an area of a pull apart when it was so cold, and now so warm the rail has expanded...
Derailment doesn't look too serious per this article: http://www.recorder.com/B1-Charlemont-T ... nt-2147554
Looks like a handful of cars derailed with no containers lying on their side or in the river - a good thing! Picture on photos.NERAIL.org shows a well car truck sitting on a rolled over rail.
Interestingly, NS Intermodal Shipping News & Alerts doesn't (yet) mention the Charlemont derailment and its impact on delivery at Ayer.
