  • As I was leaving the Amherst Railway Society's giant train show at the Eastern States Exposition, two of my friends gave me a heads up that an empty grain train had just passed them at Palmer. I knew that if the train showed up in time the light would still be good at the old Boston & Albany West Springfield freight house, now used as a Baptist church. Not long before the sun dipped below the horizon, G104 rounded the bend and entered the scene in some sweet afternoon light., 1-30-22.

  • After a late January blizzard dumped two feet of snow on parts of Massachusetts, the next morning was clear blue skies. On the way to the train show in West Springfield, I met up with some friends, old and new at West Warren on the old Boston & Albany for CSX intermodal train I-022. <br /> <br /> The guys had beaten down a path on the unplowed road with their truck and I followed them in with mine. We then trudged through the snow out to this spot in the woods where we joked around and busted balls for half an hour or so before we heard the distinct hum of Gevos at track speed. We trudged out of there quite happy with the results. Some of us continued to the train show while others who attended yesterday took advantage of the beautiful Winter day to shoot more trains, 1-30-22.
