I'M PROBABLY WRONG, but is there a Railbox derailed around Graniteville today? I could only see it from the road, can't see it from Milot Rd. It is the end car near signal tower and seemed to be "listing to one side".

I was there when M427 dropped the Ayer loads on the siding just before midnight last night and everything seemed to have gone smoothly and they headed West with the Worcester/NY bound cars just before 1 AM. So it’s probably fine…just may look that way since the tracks lean a bit as they make the turn over Bridge St.

Chris is right. When I first came to the B&M, the Stony Brook was timetabled for 40 mph, with the sidings 25 mph, not that we could go that fast due to track conditions. I don't recall that the elevation in the curves was ever reduced when the timetable speed was lowered.
