Lots of great information in this thread......I have learned quite a bit about railroading in this part of the world. Coming from a supply chain background, part of the "fun" is trying to understand where we go from here and the "why's"........ Here are links to the release from ...

interesting post on Trainorders today about CN losing Maersk business at Halifax..........Starting in April Canadian Pacific wil be getting the Halifax maersk business but at the Port of St. John........

Maybe CSX is part of this scenario down the road?

great info... goKeefe I'll give Nestle credit for looking into the future..... Trucker availability appears to have stabilized for the time being, so getting to/from Maine does not appear to be a big issue this summer, unlike last summer......but we all know these factors are cyclical, and truck cap...

Bingo

Looks like they are going in all in on the Naugatuck Plan

Customers will have to make sure that there is plenty on hand in their warehouses as we head into the hotter months this summer.......

I Didn't say that Water will not move by rail again, however Nestle's short term strategy is to not use 3rd party storage locations to keep extra product in proximity.......It may be cheaper to help pay for extra storage capacity on the customer side........ Any water headed by rail to North Jersey ...

Nestle is not storing any water in any intermediate storage locations for the time being...........if you want PS, you will get it straight from Maine via truck..........Swiss bean counters now involved........

and I think they are working on a bridge between Otisville and Port Jervis this weekend

maybe a trip up to Campbell Hall and back?

Elmskips with some of that water from Maine heading to North Jersey a few times per week.....stay tuned

[quote="gokeefe"]I think there are two possibilities. Imagine for a moment that they are planning on something bigger, like running Poland Springs water intermodal trains through Mechanicville for delivery and interchange onward to NS. That is where there appears to be some serious growth...

There were some rumors a few weeks ago on the NYSW/Susquehanna Yahoo boards about NYSW getting a big new garbage contract from CSX, IIRC. Maybe the River line is too busy with oil and other high-value traffic to run garbage on, so they are lettting NYSW take the garbage to Syracuse to hand back to C...

stacks still here as of today (16 days and counting) I can see them from my living room, and I guess by rule trains need to blow their horn when passing them love the fact that double track is back between Potter and Bound Brook Just had 33k and either 11j or 15j go west together on both tracks........

Back on Sunday March 1st, NS train 23M was flagged for High Cars in the early morning. Train waited at the Rahway Ave crossing for someone to come out. Crew ended up out-lawing, and being replaced. The 2 5 packs of stacks were set out on the 1800 foot siding between Clark and Cranford. More than 2 w...

Can anyone confirm the existence of some light blue spine cars on the siding at SR?
