ok ok they just fixed up there crap gp20d's and in maine- farmham qb the servis is great but north lots of power problems mainly because they only have 9 out of the original leasers and the b23-7's they own run but only 1 gp20d runs the rest are toast.

BTW....1 trip to newport last week and word on the street is all major track work has been cancelled for vt for the next 5 years. Hopefully they unload vt soon. They have also chased away Columbia Forest Products by mothballing the old Quebec central spur. It just keeps getting better down here... lolNo major track work for 5 years seems far fetched... how could they possibly make an accurate traffic forecast over the next five years. That makes no sense.... they would cancel a season perhaps or wait until the line justified work. Are you certain the QC spur is done? I believe they have contracted VRS to service that. Also, they just ran down to Newport today. Further, they are net gaining on their locomotive pool (the GP20Ds are done now but they have replaced them with more locos)
They now have in place lanes opening up to CSX and NS via Vermont but still waiting for PAS / NECR to settle... which as I'm sure you are aware hasn't yet.
