NS de facto runs through Massachusetts via their joint venture Pan Am Southern, which sees NS trains with NS locomotives running from North Adams to Ayer using Pan Am crews.

Now that CSX has acquired Pan Am, some of those NS trains will run over the B&A to Worcester and then up to Ayer so they can avoid the lower clearance of the Hoosac Tunnel.

Only partially. There was nothing very special or egregious about this derailment; it could have happened anywhere, anytime over the last several decades. The Lac Megantic disaster was much worse in terms of lives lost, community damage and railroad negligence.

And if they did look at them, what then? Lot of people out there trying to ban police use of facial recognition tech. In the absence of both suspect and bike, seems like there's not much more to be done.
