Driving on US-20 in Sudbury recently, I saw some bundles of ties and MOW-type equipment alongside the disused line that crosses the road in Sudbury. I'm not sure of its name, but I believe it had termini in the vicinity of Framingham and Lowell, and used to cross the MBTA Fitchburg line at a diamond in West Concord, and some of the crossing warning signals advertise a phone number by which you can inform CSX of disabled vehicles blocking the crossing. Does anyone know what's going on here? Is it salvaging of ties, or tie replacement, or something else?
