Dover recrewing point?

  by deeptrax
 
So the recent SEPO trend seems to show that the trains stop in Dover to let 686 (I think) pass at around 1530. Do the freights generally stop and recrew or do they just roll through slowly? If they don't generally recrew here, where do they usually recrew? (possibly a swap with POSE?)

I believe they usually recrew somewhere around Lowell.

Alright, thanks! But in Dover, do these trains still stop or do they just roll through?

Dover can be a recrew point if a crew outlaws there or at Rollinsford.
I am not sure, but I do not think there is a crew base at Dover currently.
Crew is taxied from Portland to Dover to take over, when a train outlaws
there. Dover still has an office trailer, so that could change.

Dover still has the trailer because PH1 starts on duty there.

There hasn't been a PH-1 in years. DO-1 services Porsmouth now, they may or may not even be based out of Dover anymore (it was Rigby for a while).

PH1 runs the DOBO trains to Boston Sand and Gravel, picking up the train in Dover from the Northcoast crews.

Thanks for the info, that job always used to be advertised as DOBO/BODO....

is that the only job these days going to work there? We used to recrew SEPO there a lot but it seems to have shifted further west.
