I was thinking it was an intermodal announcement about a new Waterville service; maybe that's next?

I wonder what NS would think of their partnering with their chief competitors rd in the northeast.....or are Class I railroads not as competitive or exclusive as I assume them to be?

I am sure they aren't pumped but it doesn't really effect NS much at this point. Their bread and butter has always been Ayer West. They are just losing out on some haulage and switch fees at Deerfield but they knew that would happen when they became a seperate railroad.

PAR just may end functioning as Shared Assets/Northeast. Sometimes cooperation can be more cost-effective than competition.

This is part of that.

Hmm, it didn't mention it on the release that I could see? Will there be another announcement soon; and when do you expect the service to start?

I notice they list MNR trackage as Pan Am haulage rights and the mills in Madawaska, East Millinocket and Millinocket as CSX "served." CSX is starting to exploit the increasingly chummy Irving/PAR relationship. Watch out CN.

Hopefully it means more freights west of Portland!

I noticed they showed the full length of the Mountain Division as a "connecting railroad." I can't read the reporting mark they put on that line, though.

It says "SOM" (State of Maine) on the Maine portion, and "SONH" (State of New Hampshire) on the NH portion.

I wonder how much traffic they expect off the Belfast & Moosehead Lake, which is shown as a connecting railroad.

At this point the BML has more potential traffic than the Mountain Division!
