Between the land purchase and the rail, their investment is over $750K (Not sure if that counts IRAP money or not I'd have to look it up) in rail service.

Great news for Pan Am indeed. Seems like a solid long term customer.

Worth noting:
Re: Gardner GawkingLooks to me as if the shipments have started in earnest.

First, thanks to Jacob Mayo's Yahoo # 140395 http://www.nscorp.com/content/nscorp/en" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... ettma.html alert that bridge and track work near Wachusett would result in a 0700/05-09-2016 to 0700/05-10-2016 FML closure.
The alert prompted an earlier-than-normal departure, resulting in the vision of 3 EB points of white light coming round the Wachusett curve, POED with NewBlue 618 and OldYeller LTEX 8955 getting 46 east of the still-dark new signal structure at 0516. 21 of the cars -- in various blocks -- were TTX flats and centerbeams of structural steel.

How do you know? Lawrence has been getting a ton of steel lately.
Who is getting steel through Lawrence?

The customer in Iron Horse park that gets steel I would assume.
I didn't think POED picked up local traffic .... (?)

Can not be certain these came from Portland...I thought they had a lot of work to do before they were ready to ship.
My big bad for causing confusion by not keyboarding better and editing better when I prepped my original post. IT was EDPO and not the other way around, so those were EB steel loads.
Again, apologies all around.

May have come from their site on the Saco Industrial track, but thats nothing new.
No worries Jaymac. Happens to us all
Same here ... no big deal.

It was totally believable that PAR would operate an EDPO train with POED crew and call it "POED"!
