Portsmouth Branch Activity

Does high liner still take cars?

Yes. They get the occasional load. A few weeks ago I saw one.

Only took 4 odd decades to get around to it.

hyrail and a Sperry truck departing Rockingham east at 0806 to head down the branch.

Sat it heading towards the trestle at 8:30ish. Think this is to do with the CWR or the Patterson Lane work?

Doubt it, the Sperry truck has been up here for the past few weeks doing the branches and the main line after the GEO train knocked down most of the 25 east of Waterville.

Tie job was started in Portsmouth yard today, the equipment has been there a couple weeks now. They are currently working on the two stub tracks close to the mill pond, they were in pretty bad shape. We'll see weather they do the whole yard, time will tell.
They are doing ties up on the runaround at Paterson lane today also.

Thanks for the update
