Doesn’t mean anything, that is old info. Once GAF shut down a few years ago, BCLR stop serving the Millis line. However Tresca Bros started receiving shipments again, and that brought a little life back to the line. Now however, it’s not looking good for the Millis Line, the last shipment being close to a year ago.

I thought the ROW was owned by MassDOT.. It appears I'm wrong..

I wonder if it's the same person listed here: https://www.cbs.com/shows/survivor/cast/20689/

The Conrail FSP seems to say nothing about the Dover Secondary Track west of Medfield JCT. (MP 7.3) either..

ADDENDUM TO ABOVE

According to OLIVER, MassDOT owns the ROW from the Charles River easterly. Harkey owns from the river westerly.

The ROW is owned by Peter Harkey. The Real Estate Agency is a Paul Harkey. Any relation? I don't know.. It appears Peter has a brother; Robert Harkey, and they own Harkey's Wine & Spirits, along with their mother.

Anybody know or care to speculate when the last time 1701 ran or what it may take to get it usably running after such a long idle period?

The cooling system on the 1701 must be drained. So fill the radiator to start.

Why on earth did they buy this ROW?

Probably last ran February 2019, the last time they shipped cars on the line.

1701 is now outdated 92 day inspection,outdated Air Brakes due to lack of use.
Needs to go to a shop before use.
