They only have rights to existing business. They gave up their rights to new business when they sold the Grand Junction to the state.

I spotted what looked like CSX units hauling empty gons inbound over the bridge near BU late yesterday afternoon. IS CSX also hauling the dirt gons to Everett?

Thanks! It looked like a pretty fair number of cars. It was a rare treat to see the move over the bridge at the Charles.

Steel prices must be up as B721 scrap car counts have been up lately. 16 empties yesterday to
the scrap dealer.

On that note, if anyone has yet to go by on a Rockburyport Train, I highly recommend it. The pit/casino basement is massive and with all the cranes towering over it, it is quite a site to see!
