CSX Completes Purchase of PanAm Railways

It's official! The Amtrak Downeaster will soon be running on CSX tracks from Brunswick to the NH/MA line as the US Surface Transportation Board approves the CSX Purchase of PanAM. Railway Age has a detailed report on the sale.



NNEPRA Executive Director Patricia Quinn has written, “This transaction and the physical and operational improvements CSX has indicated it will make, has the potential to sustain and enhance the safe operation of passenger and freight rail service in Maine and New Hampshire.

It also can preserve and protect the substantial financial investments which have enabled NNEPRA and its partners to achieve success to date and set the stage for even greater economic opportunities and public benefits in the future.”
