Good to see the 1701 back to work.

Thanks for the video NHV 669

Stopped by to visit the 1701 today. Island Rd. void of any cars. The 1701 resting in her nest looking for work. The spur is waist high in under growth.

A sad sight from what it was 2 years ago.

Rockland forum reporting 30* cars leaving Dragon since late September. Wondering if any will be dropped off at Medfield/Millis spur for Tresca.

Checking the FB group posts, I think it's been more like 30 within the last week...

Apparently none of it is for Tresca and headed out of New England. Thought someone told me Ohio, but I can't remember for sure.

Stopped by to visit the 1701 today. She is shivering in her nest looking for work. The good news is the frost has killed off a lot of the growth on the spur but will still require some cleaning. I believe it was last reported delivery on Jan. 6th. Hopefully Tresca will require 10+ cars to cover their winter operations.

AFAIK, it was 20 June..

Hi-rail truck spotted in Millis today.

But did he ever return, no he never returned, and his fate is still un-learned .......

Stopped by to visit the 1701 a few days ago. Resting comfortably in her nest, looking for work. The vegetation is starting to take over the row. looks like its going to be a long Summer. Of note, there are stacks of rail and ties stagged by the Millis switch. As in the past, could be something, could be nothing.

1701 hasn't moved in what, 10 months? I'll be surprised if they invest any labour and materials in this.

Guess that begs the question of what those rails and ties are for if not for some type of reconstruction, then.
