Recent developments for Pan Am Railways, including the Pan Am Southern (PAS) joint venture have led to an increase in Maintenance of Way (MoW) activities and projects. There are numerous individual threads discussing these projects around the system. Perhaps it would be useful to be able to discuss these projects in a single thread.
Recently in Winthrop, ME several loads of new ties have been dropped off close to the MoW siding at the Main Street crossing. The tie conditions on this part of the line (District 1, Lewiston - Winthrop - Waterville) are pretty bad in particular directly through Winthrop. Any improvements to this area are an interesting new development on the part of the railroad. Until recently this area had not seen major investment like this in quite some time.
I'm curious to a certain extent as to whether or not these improvements are related to the infusion of capital into District 3 as part of the PAS.
