That went by the boards when Conrail dished off most of CT to B&M 30 years ago. Springfield Line's CSO and (sorta) PAS.

Every car to New England from anywhere on CSX has to pass through or around Selkirk. There is also a considerable amount of local business around this general area. Selkirk is probably the busiest yard on all of CSX except for maybe Waycross, GA. I am sure that freight customers in Massachusetts care very much about Selkirk and Albany.Ironman wrote:That's an ad.
