With a single carrier, Poland Spring could potentially ship direct to the NYC market (via the Bronx, perhaps at hunts point terminal market—alleviating the need to build that terminal in CT and dealing with trucking down I-95).

They have no problems getting south from the New York area on their own rails.Interesting to learn that former CNJ line got clawed by Chessie. I was of thought that any former RDG lines went to Topper so he could gallop his way to his PRR at Harrisburg.
As a kid during the later 40's, I can recall sitting by the tracks at Fanwood near my Aunt's house. Quite the parade of Blue B&O trains, Black and Green striped RDG, and best of all, CNJ Camelbacks.
