Accident is near Fairlee Motel, train was stopped between there and Gray's Field as of 20:00. Unit is definitely 307. Plenty of State Police personnel on site, as well as at least one VRS rig.

Site is about here: 43°55'22.1"N 72°07'24.0"W

307 didn't move Friday for some reason. I passed NPWJ on I-91 as they were picking up empties. They arrived in WRJ at 16:15 with 204 and 27 cars. After leaving Lebanon yesterday, drove over the South Yard on I-89. Looks to be close to 20 cars ready to go north.

After being off the grid for a few days, it's been nice to see that the last three days have been one-way, two unit trains of 15 cars or more.

What type of paper did that mill make? With brown paper shopping bags making a comeback and the overall movement to do away with plastic in a lot of different products, I would imagine paper production will start to see and uptick.

There will be a speeder excursion on the VRS on Saturday and Sunday July 13 and 14. Set on in White River Junction late Friday afternoon and depart Saturday around 8:00 AM for Newport with late afternoon arrival and tie up downtown. Depart Newport Sunday morning around 8:00 AM with arrival in WRJ in early afternoon. Fifty speeders and some hi-rails expected.
