At this time, as well as historically, NNEPRA has not imposed any significant limitations on freight traffic. Keep in mind that NNEPRA peacefully coexisted with Pan Am during the early 2000s when Pan Am was running more trains than they do today, e.g. POED and EDPO every day, POSE and SEPO every day, daytime locals to Saco / Biddeford / Wells that ran at least three days a week, more-frequent DOBO and BODO trains to feed the Big Dig, etc. It seems to me that CSX could easily double the number of trains they're running in NNEPRA territory and not have any problems. And that situation will get even easier in the near future when the new double track between Wells and North Berwick is finished.
