It's anyones guess what CSX's strategy will be in the coming year. On the one hand they may want to keep the access barriers in place for Cedar Hill to protect W. Springfield intermodel, Then on the other hand they may not even care about W. Springfield or New England in general for that matter if they can sell out (cash in some of their assests for the short term stockholder gain). It will interesting to see what comes to pass. I would think that PAS would want to get an intermodal terminal in CT. not just for PS. but intermodal in general. Its all far enough away from Ayer and would reach new markets. Cedar Hill would probably be the best place but if environmental concerns should somehow be overcome then Naugatuck would be a good alterative. Just my $.02 worth.
