Looks like the Fitchburg secondary is in need (if not already done) of some serious tree removal.

That stretch of Worcester County out to Leominster got hit hardest of anywhere in the state by the storm. It's not a matter of "if" but "we can't physically run without it" re: tree removal. I'm sure it's already had downed trees cleared and is next up on the docket for the chainsaws and cherry pickers after the main and Framingham Secondary so the winter headache spots get pre-cleared. I believe there's power lines next to the Fitch. Sec. in stretches, so that's another reason it won't wait long. CSX has had a living hell of a year with Mother Nature. Everything in the Albany Division is going to get a thorough pass for tree control while they can do it in nice weather on a schedule vs. in hellspawn snow under emergency a couple months from now.
