Any comments on my "conversation" with F-Line to Dudley?

Thank you very much for your insight about the power of PAR and DOT rail compared to shared-use path advocates. I don't disagree. But ignoring that reality, would it be possible (understanding they won't to) for PAR to 1) make do with one track past Sullivan at the narrow section, 2) use one of...

Thanks much. The reason I'm asking is that a feasibility study is underway to look at extending the multi-use path along the Orange line tracks south in the Yard 21 corridor into Inner Belt to connect with the Community Path and Grand Junction Path. When this study was first proposed, the dual...

How would any of these possible other location options for PanAm to store and sort rail cars work (compared to Yard 21 lead tracks): https://flic.kr/s/aHsmN49zU8? THX.

How will PanAm access the tracks on the NewburyPort/Rockport line from the Yard 10 lead and Yard 21 storage tracks? THX, Alan

Does anyone know if PanAm or MassDOT is paying for this?

Perhaps I didn't explain well or provide enuf info. I was told that the Yard 10 lead would be an alternate route for GL cars to get to the new Light Rail maintenance facility. NOT in revenue service, but being pulled by a Unamog maintenance vehicle. Would that be allowed? Only with a temporal...

Thank you for your quick response. So the having 2 tracks is more important for the engine manuvering than #car storage? Right now, I can't say who told me about Green Line movement (and maybe they were incorrect). If I find out more, or publically available info., I'll let you know.

More questions on the Yard 21 track re-building west of Sullivan: Has anyone any plans of the new track lay-out? Do they really need 2 tracks thru the entire length? How many cars do they store? Seems like a low use of urban land. Who do we think is paying for it? Did the MBTA have to let PanAm...
