does anyone know of freight using the Western Rout lately. I was listeing to the RR on my scanner the other night, & heard an EOT transmission Around 1-2AM... I live a few blocks from the Western, & the transmission made the train sound like it was on the Western. I live 3 miles from the new Hampshire division... any info would be great!

Perhaps it was NHN's sand train heading for Boston sand & Gravel?

I seem to think it is too, but I'm not sure. That train usually comes down the New Hampshire Main line at night time, so it is possible they are having it go down the Western instead now. Anyone able to take this further? Thanks CSX!!! :D
