Athol Activity

[KSmitty]

So 13 days just to get to Waterville? Or are you speaking about the second load which was just reported yesterday?

Couldnt tell you, just know it was a loaded ttx timber bulkehead. I didnt get a car number to check.

Any clue on destination, or milling company?

Is it a saw log load or a load of pulp logs? Same outfit that loaded a couple of test saw log loads on PW a while back maybe?

Yesterday http://www.akrailroad.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; was working Athol and had 2 NS gondolas that they were using to load lots of scrap rail...

On the morning of 07-30-2014, tie-pile removal was continuing. Two loaded gons were picked up and 2 MTs were setoff by EDPO.
Also, the Exit 18 ramp from Rte. 2 to 2A E and W was shut down as sewer-line burial continued.

Dunno if it's the same one or a new one, but ditto ~0730/09-01-2014.

Massive brush fire on the hill slightly east of the Chestnut Hill bridge. 50 or more acres burning. Fire started on the north side of the Millers River, but has since jumped the river.

Where are logs being loaded in Athol and where are they coming from? I wasn't aware of any logging operations in MA.

Time to get out of Boston more

There are plenty of logging operations in MA, they are just smaller. This one was loading behind the tower in Deerfield now instead of Athol. The cars go to Maine. I forgot the name of the outfit (it;s in another thread). They havent loaded any ina while.
