I have a small question of the Rumford Branch symbols.

What are used now adays? I remember the PORU and RUPO, now there are others floating around like RUED.. Any idea which ones are in use today?

Yes Mick; The funniest was in District 3 T.O.M. Dave Berskersky's
(Spelling?) radio humor on POSE!! After a few days oh "HELLO POSE,OVER""
pronounced as female anayomy slang) IT WAS CHANGED to POAY /AYWO
and WOAY / AYPO. Though every once in a while they still use a AYPO as a second section of Q-426 / S-426 on CSX from Ayer,ma.

RUED and EDRU are the road freights in and out of Riley's. RU-1 and 2 are the Rumford Switchers, and RI-1 and 2 are the Riley's Switchers.
At least for now! :-)

Thanks,
