Rockland Branch Discussion

Two runs per week (on average).

They came up and grabbed the 20 loads yesterday.

Both units and 24 loads westbound for Brunswick today.

Westbound with 12 loads, EB with 19 empties today.

I noticed a new building going up with a new rail siding being put in as I drove on Rt 1 while passing over the track near New Meadow Rd in Brunswick.

johnhenry: that's already an active customer, ASA has been taking cars since last October, as noted in this thread. The tracks there are actually in West Bath.

25 loads headed west for Brunswick today.

Saw a video from I believe yesterday of csx picking up 34 loads of cement at Brunswick off the lower road

How often does csx interchange? Looked like they dropped 9 empty concrete covered hoppers

Roughly twice a week, as noted at the top of this page.

Thanks
I had seen the twice a week but wondered if that might have increased given the volume moving now

They can just send more power.... Midcoast isn't running to Brunswick daily.

Based on this post:post1621874.html#p1621874

It sounds like the RDCs will be on their way soon.

13 loads west today.

Does anyone know what radio frequency that is used on this branch? Thanks!!

Why is there a thread about Maine RDC service under general instead of New England?
