Does anyone know why CSX B735 did not operate thursday or friday? 8/5 and 8/6

They worked......but never left Walpole. One engine was sent to Selkirk wednesday night because it had a mechanical defect, and was due for a 92 day inspection next week. The other engine, 6213, was supposedly vandalized during the overnight hours after B736's crew went home Wednesday night.

B732 went to Mansfield Thursday p.m.
B710 went to Mansfield Friday.

Basically, jobs are being annulled lately due to either no power or lack of qualified conductors.

talking to a co-worker today I heard that B710 outlawed in Mansfield yard.....and after B732 finished switching @ Foxboro they went engine lite to pick-up B710's train and bring it back to Readville.

what are the max hours someone can work in the RR a day? 12 before you get outlawed?

the whole Albany Division is still suffering a power shortage.

currently Framingham, Readville and Walpole are each short at least 1 unit.

Last saw on the computer.......Readville has 2 (should have 4, but can work well with only3) Middleboro has 4 (the norm) and Walpole only has 1 (normally have 2) Framingham has I believe 7, norm is 9 or 10....not sure.

just saw B735 at 12:20. He left Zayers and headed to Attleboro. He had 6223 (YN3) and 6211 and they were elephant style with 31 empty cars
