Does anyone have an update on how things are going at the new autorack facility in East Brookfield?

Also, are the facitities in Westboro and Holliston closed now?

East Brookfield: total mess from day one: 1)poorly planned layout 2) non-union scabs working the rails spotting cars (a.k.a. East Brookfield & Spencer RR) 3) cannot keep up with the volume of traffic

Westboro: mainly used for storage of cars for customers on the main between Westboro & Worcester

CP Yard in Framingham: CSXT wanted Toyota moved out and in operation at East Brookfield as of 1/1/2005, but I don't think they have moved yet.

CP Yard is also being used for storage/classification tracks.

If east brookfield turns out to crap, do you think the framingham one could survive?

They already have plans for the CP Yard as well as Westboro.

Currently both yards are being used for storage of extra cars that have piled up due to the weather.
