The only thing I can think of would be the now dominance of scheduled railroading brought on by Hunter Harrison and Wall Street. Though another possibility for anything in the last 6 to 9 months could be attempting to deal with the container issue that is plaguing so much of the world. But those are just guesses.

Johann Marsbar Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Looks like the MBTA have now started test running on the rebuilt Green Line route between Boston North Station and Lechmere as occasional trams can now be seen running on the viaduct in the foreground of this webcam view of the Charles River...... Full services on the extended route(s) are due to start in March this year. You can also see (albeit at a distance) trains arriving/departing North Station over the lifting bridges in the background as well 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 25, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) The latest VR vcamera is at Witchita, hosted by the Great Plains Transport Museum. It went live on Jan 6 2022. The tracks here are owned by the Witchita Terminal Association but dispatched by BNSF and get about 40 trains per day. Like a lot of US cities it is the site of a former largish passenger station but does not get any service these days: Trains are BNSF, UP, KO (Kansas & Oklahoma) & SKOL (South Kansas & Oklahoma) EDITED URL changed Edited January 26, 2022 by melmerby 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdvle Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 12 minutes ago, melmerby said: I posted it earlier in "Level Crossing Stupidity" Fair enough, but many following North American railroads aren't as likely to be browsing a UK section of the site. But if you want to be like that, I would point out the newbryford and then myself posted your thing about the derailment in this same section of RMweb yesterday.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2022 OK, I've been copped out! It wasn't meant to be a disparaging comment, just a note as such I always post the VRF crossing "funnies" in the Level Crossing Stupidity topic as although it's in the UK section it does have entries from across the globe. Unfortunately there isn't a "around the world" railway section in the forum!. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Marsbar Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 CSX "Spirit of Law Enforcement" loco passing Chester, MA, yesterday.......

The lineup is obscured by the locos at this point! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devoid of NS markings, so presumably sold on by them! There were a couple of ex NS locos in a roster through Deshler OH a couple of days ago (again 26XX series so must be leaving NS) Someone had crudely spray painted the new owners reporting mark (PRLX, Progress Rail Leasing) across the NS logo on the engine covers and "Do Not Fuel" on the tanks https://youtu.be/i4TEkd3GAaU?t=502 Edited February 11, 2022 by melmerby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Marsbar Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Apparently, New Brunswick Southern are having lots of problems with their ex NS SD70's (repainted into their smart green livery) which were supplied by Progress Rail, so that one looks as thogh it may be going there to help the situation out. #2649 was bought by Progress Rail back in March last year.
