Cheap logging railroad?

That looks like the Pan Am Southern (PAS) mainline up here!





Up until the joint NS-PAR ownership of this stretch of track, Pan Am Railways, aka Guilford had 10 mph running on what was once 40mph mainline. In their trip from North Maine Jct. to Mechanicville, the crew would never make the trip in under 10 hours and would outlaw due to poor track conditions with speeds as low as 10 mph in most locations.
