Now regarding the Hudson & Boston, Chessie's freight traffic is all along the West Shore as that is where Selkirk is located, and with more passenger trains contemplated by the two agencies operating on the Hudson Div, as well as part of the line owned by a public agency, I think Chessie would be loathe to establishing any through freight over such.
