My apologies if this has been covered, but my searching has turned up nothing.

How many trains can one expect over Sandpatch in daylight during a typical day?
I'm contemplating a trip from Connecticut.

Thanks,
Lee Carlson

This week and next there is a curfew for a tie gang working on the East slope of Sand Patch. Traffic will pass on the other track, however, single tracking on a mountain grade creates a major bottleneck for operations.

Lets us know how your trip goes. Haven't been there in a few years and might be going back soon.
