POED is seen heading through Westford with the East Deerfield cut of cars. The Ayer cars were bought directly to the yard with 2 of the engines The crew then ran the engines back light to NC to pick up the third engine and the East Deerfield cars. This complicated move is not standard practice but there was concern as to whether the larger then normal train would fit in the usual siding where cars are set off, 6-18-20.
