Not negative, just realistic. No economic sense for either NS nor CCET to open the line to Portsmouth. NS gets nothing out of it other than the headache of interchange someplace they have no interchange with anyone at. No customers nor any hope of customers in the miles between Plum Run and Portsmouth...and CCET would not get any access to anything in Portsmouth. Just extra wasted miles over curves and hills for CCET to deal with...in other words, it gets them nothing.
Besides, the track has been sitting for years now...it would take massive amounts of $$$ to put it back into shape for running 10 mph...let alone anything over it. Yes, it is nice to dream but it is just that, a dream. No realistic chance of it happening.
