Yes, that's right on. Especially with you, the Fright/Amtrak/subway expert I'm just trying to learn all about regular (non-rapid transit) railroads, I already know a whole ton about Rapid Transit, so now, I wanted to learn all the CSX routes here and now I know what goes on behind the scenes.

Dave

who are those cars left for? B726?

Yes MBTA F40. The Selkirks go up to Attleboro on B726 (MI-01) where they are passed of to FR-35 (B725), which takes them to Framingham and most of them usually depart that morning for Selkirk on Q437.

CSX has regained some long lost (Conrail) traffic around Middleboro in the past couple of weeks. Ocean Spray in Middleboro is recieving the ocaisonal boxcar and Stock Building Products which now occupies the former Cameron Ashley facility off Rt 18 in Lakeville is now recieving boxcars and centerbeams of lumber

Actually, Stock Builders is not "lost" traffic or business. They were in Norwood on the East Walpole Industrial right up until relocating to their new location back in the winter.
