Hearing nothing in sight to interrupt the 1701's long slumber. Only activity
seems to be CSX setting of Watuppa cars at Medfield Jct in error! Even that
has mercifully stopped!

Based upon information dated 09 March 2017 on this thread:

If Dragon Cement was purchased by Giant Cement and Elementia bought a 55% stake in the Giant Cement Holdings piece of Grupo Cementos Portland Valderrivas. So Thomaston is now an Elementia-flagged plant.

If the $$ didn't add up to ship Via Rail, Tresca is receiving Via Barge and helping the bottom line.

It was fun while it lasted !

Breaking News! 10 loads coming soon! Cars in Selkirk! Alert the 1701!

D

Great News !!

I'll stop by and check the Oil level and make sure the batteries are fully charged !!

The 1701 should be working Friday mid-morning!
