Consistent with what they've done on the Fitchburg and Haverhill Lines over the last few years.

The track you are describing ultimately crosses Inner Belt and connects to the the Wye are that is currently being used for MOW purposes (and connects on its northern leg to the old Yard 21 lead), correct?
Route mainline. Yes, where New Washington Street, Cobblehill Apartments and the Holiday Inn towards I-93 was yards. The only
track left is the so-called Yard 10 lead, which is off the No.1 Track mainline just past the Washington St bridge that wanders
down to Innerbelt Road.
