From Monday afternoon, 1/8/2024, here was the CSX's L066 Crew taking 516 and one load of utility poles north into Concord. They went north from Nashua with 2 loads, the other load was spotted at Coastal Forest Products in Bow, with no empties to grab.

The Utility Pole business has been robust over the past several years, The L066 Crew brought three more loads the other day. As long as Mother Nature keeps a blowin', fresh loads of utility poles will keep a showin'!

Maybe this is CSX's version of a "Journey to the North 'Pole' Train"..

MEC 516 was recently rotated out of Nashua, MEC 515 is the current road power for the Nashua Crews
