Pssst....

Sunday 5AM at BET. Seven car ballast train for the Dorchester Branch and dump at Uphams Corner and return. Power should be the 904 and 1131.

Yes for the re-alignment of the tracks at Uphams Corner station. Saw some equipment tied-down on the expressway bridge justwest of the home signal for South Bay yesterday. :wink:

this may be off topic, but there was new ballast on Track 2 on the NEC mainline between MP 198 and 201, did the T do this or was this Amtrak?
