I have no idea of the systems on British EMU's, and to be honest all I know of US train operations I have gleaned from message boards, but I think it may be relevant that, in the case of the Downeaster, we are dealing with diesel locomotives in mixed traffic with (also diesel) freight trains...

PTC is private property. Concord Coach owns it, and it's the only stop on the Downeaster where NNEPRA has to pay rent (to the tune of $50k/year the last time I looked at the budget details). That's an expense they want to get out of, with the presumption that, like the rest of their Maine...

I've been saying that for AGES! There's plenty of room for a station, parking, and ancillary development! (And it would be closer to my house ;) So far as I can tell, Bruno's owns just about all the land that CSX doesn't, except for the Boxing Club. Trivia question: does anyone know what...

Thanks to depowered traffic lights and rush hour, it took me an hour to get from the Mall area to the eastern waterfront.

Given the difficulty of maintaining or expanding waterfront industrial uses anyplace in Maine that isn't Portland Harbor, I would definitely hate to see Cianbro pushed out. Honestly, I don't even hate the coal pile given that there are customers for whom it is presumably a vital resource., I...

Is Munjoy Heights the three story townhouses that had the elevator option?

I came on and saw 5 updates and figured it had to be you! Good to see you, Corey!

As long as we're in the area, here's a fun game: show a young Portlander (say, high school or college age) this pic and ask them to figure out what it is:

The spur to the IMT stays; it's viable trackage even if CSX is mainly using it for car storage, and it at least provides theoretical rail access to the IMT. (My understanding is that, even with the double track, the intermodal space by the freezer warehouse is too small to be viable, and PYS...

Having been a Sea Dogs season ticket holder for multiple seasons, I would say that it's not the chance of a shower that deters people, it's the thought of sitting in 40 degree weather at night. Especially with the on-peninsula wind.

I'll point out that they're already talking about adding a womens' team as well, so that's double the dates right there. And a conversation I had with Google AI the other day mentioned that it's possible to build modular stadiums now, so capacity could be expanded if needed (if the Hearts got...

Concerts aren't mentioned in the article.

So, now that the cat's out of the bag, what can you tell us? Where is the bulk cargo operation moving to? If you or the Hearts have a site up, feel free to leave a pointer!

Scotia Prince? Do you mean The Cat? Or is someone trying to take over the route with a regular ferry vessel as opposed to a catamaran? (The original Scotia Prince, unable to be upgraded to SOLAS standards, went to the breakers and became razor blades.)

One thing that has been on the MaineDOT and CSX wishlist for years has been the removal of the overpass on the upper portion of Cassidy Point Drive, because it blocks double-stacked rail traffic. The downside is that removing it - and hence the upper connection to West Commercial - makes it much...

Honestly, I hope you guys aren't building housing down there. The industrial capacity is too important.

Rock Row is not on the agenda for the August Planning Board meeting. They've covered the core buildings in Phase 3; what hasn't been presented are Lots I and U (the one-story retail west of Rock Row Boulevard), and Lots T and L (the "entertainment center" and neighboring parking lot, both all or...

Considering that one trying to take off would probably either skid into the river or create a disaster on the Turnpike, probably not 😁 Speaking of having reps from the alliances available, a couple of years ago I was flying out of LHR and our plane was out on a remote pad. Since my son uses a...

I wasn't so much a groupie, but my grandfather used to take me with him to the Downs when he went (Cumberland and Lewiston too, and I even remember one time at Gorham when I was very small).

I'm still surprised they don't have a road named after Donnie Richards, since they have one for Freeman Parker. (Yes, Richards was my favorite driver as a kid and I just found a story from last August where he recorded his 1000th win as a trainer at the age of 92, on top of over 4000 wins as a...
