It seemed the property owned didn't connect directly to anything, yet it was still in PAR hands, perhaps unknowingly for a long time. I'm not sure if the FRA filing has happened yet or not, but they were getting their paperwork together this summer.
Who knows how many unknown properties are on their books!

Taking a quick look and Google search, it very well could be. I don't remember too much beyond the general area it was in.

I've noticed some signs of travel on the branch lately - I thought it was just a high-rail but a friend said she saw a locomotive pass Wild Flowers bakery today. Any other confirmed sightings?

I wonder where the scrap is going ... They had to shutdown their operation in Portsmouth.

If the proposed plan plays out, they will be heading east then south.
Caught a PanAm hirail truck on the line on Thursday at the River Road Topsham crossing. They had cut back some trees that had fallen on the ROW. I did not realize PanAm was still doing regular track patrol on the line, so it was cool to see.
Is Grimmel's still getting rail service or did that stop?
It takes real skill to choke on air, fall up the stairs and trip over nothing. I have those skills.
That's been done for about two years now.
Wonders never cease ... Could be an indication of an upcoming move.

How is providing service to a customer a wonder? lol 
I mean, the customer no longer exists, so I wouldn’t hold my breath on any upcoming moves.
I wonder how old the google aerials are? It shows 7 empties at the end of their siding, plus an empty on the loading track coupled to the trackmobile they have and another 8 further down on it. 16 cars total
