You could get a train from Bingo to Deerfield in around 11 hours IF there were no stops on any of the 3 railroads, if PAS picked up all the 25 mp west of North Adams back to 40, and CP did not sandbag them crossing over the joint mainline. That's a lot of ifs and would require more cash infusion for track work.PAS would also have to get the siding at Williamstown-Pawnal installed in addition to moving Ferry Street (CPF=464) east towards Snyders for increased flexibility.
