CABOOSE ALERT! 04-28-2012

Heads up, there is an SEPO headed north as of 1642 through CPF 219 in Arundel Maine. A BBCX red, white, and blue caboose is at the very back and there is some MOW equipment just before that. Going about 25 mph, so it should be at Rigby around 1720.

The Caboose and the two special cars ahead of it are the ones used to bring the transformer down
through Crawford Notch in 2010. Must be move planned out of Maine or Canada.

Here's a video of the CSRR Move

Greetings:
The caboose is following a Schnable car that is sitting up in Rigby as I type this message. The Schnable will pick up a load that is due to arrive by ship on May 11-12 and go to Greene ME. The is nothing in Greene ME. for large industry so I will bet it is headed to a paper mill on the Rumford Branch.

If anybody hears diffrent, please give a post and a heads up. I would love to photograph this move.

Thanks in advance...

Just because there is nothing there doesn't mean it isn't going there! In fact, there is a large pit (Libby's pit) up the Rumford branch where they could offload. I believe PIKE industries owns it (Which isn't a small company). I have been told that it is going to Greene for offloading so I won't assume otherwise.
