Do they still brings cars to that steel place on your left heading up towards Turners? Also what about those two places that got boxcars on the East side of Rigby yard itself.

Former scrap yard now owned by Casco Bay Steel does get steel. Internal Rigby customers are no longer in service. One has been gone for most of a decade and NEPW moved out of the other probably 5ish years ago? Around the same time as they left the Wells location.

The intention is to replace all 3 ships regularly sailing the Iceland-North America Lane with 1,000-1,200 TEU ships.

The IMT is in the early phases of planning a dredging project that would allow them to handle ships a bit larger than that but right now ~1,200-1,300 is about as much ship as the IMT can handle.

Not sure exactly what the Yard 8 intermodal ramp re-rebuild is going to entail, but it can't be much worse than what's there.
