Even when it comes to Pan Am Southern, strip away the NS-marketed autos and intermodal and CSX is at least as important an interchange partner as NS and has non-"testy"-ly worked to keep its PAS traffic flowing.

They are running 100+ car trains between Ayer and Worcester in both directions daily, including an extra each way when both parties have crews available.
There is a lot of traffic at Portland and Selkirk. Most of it is the last effects of the CN/CP shutdowns in Canada as those blockades just ended earlier this week on March 2nd. So there were 1000s of cars already in transit trying to use Pan Am and CSX as a bypass around New Brunswick and Ontario.
