Official New England Southern Thread (NEGS)

I hope it doesn't come down to it and the NEGS finds a good partner in CSX for getting this new traffic (or any traffic) to/from the customer.

Looks like there might be some progress toward the new customer. There were crews working adjacent to the track just south of the Manville Road crossing in Tilton yesterday.

Has track work started down at Lowell Junction?

Not sure if it's related to the new customer, but in an NEGS group on the Book of Faces, I saw a photo dated November 3 of 20 hoppers going north from Concord. I'm not sure who else would need those other than the possible new customer.

Looked like VTR marks on the first car, unless I'm mistaken.

I had some business in the area over the weekend, so I checked out the view of the ROW from the Manville Road crossing. Some work definitely has been done on the east side of the ROW just south of the crossing. RIght now it looks like they've built up a short dirt road that rises to maybe a foot or two above the level of the rails. It's very rough looking, so it looks more like the start of something than the end of something. There was no sign of recent work.

Nice to hear about more business potential on this line.

By any chance did you or, anyone else who has been in the area take any photos of the activity to post?

Thanks.

That has been there for 10+ yrs now.
