Re: (erielack) M&E/Rahway Valley News

In the "there's an example for everything" category, don't forget that many
of the terminals in Boston (and a select few other places) are not cleared
for double-stacks.


Syracuse has been the "filet" terminal for single-stacking Boston loads for
quite some time.

Also, while double stacks may seem like the way to go, let's note that
despite millions of dollars to clear the Scranton-Philly route, CPR is still
only bringing pigs and single-levels to Philly.

Does the SIRT bridge over the Arthur Kill have the Plate clearance for
stacks? If not, there's no worry about the rest of the route being cleared.
