With the big increase in traffic due to the partial closure of Worcester, am wondering how many Intermodal trains depart Beacon Park daily and at what times. Thanks in advance!

Worcester is undergoing major reformatting and expansion to become an IM terminus. To expedite the changes, there is a temporary shift of some IM to Beacon Park. When changes are complete, the Park should start its transition to a memory. For more information, possibly more information than you want, you can check out the nearby "CSX Boston and Albany Line" thread, say from late block 31 to present.

Driving out of Boston yesterday on the Mass Pike at @ !:00 PM I saw a very, very long EB single stack container train a few miles west of the yard. Lots and lots of Schneider containers, which I believe have been shifted from Worcester to Boston.

Supposedly, the only IM traffic into Worcester during the expansion project is UPS and whatever they are going to interchange w/ P&W.
