Concerning that notice from the MBTA regarding track work last year, why would the MBTA even be involved? They don't own the track or run trains on it (other than detours). Did they perhaps know that Boston may possibly be taking the Grand Junction bridge out of service for years thanks to a Mass Pike project by the now-defunct B&A/CSX yards? (do NOT get me going on THAT topic)
ALSO, today I spotted some nifty yellow HERZOG equipment in Hill Yard (Ayer) and was wondering just what type of work the setup does. Looked very purpose-built, with what looked like flats or gondolas, some sort of power on one end, and a control unit on the other end... and a digger.
I have seen so few trains anywhere on Pan Am the last couple of years I swear the railroad is out of business...
(yes, there is a disgusted tone to my typed voice)
