My FF browser with Malwarebytes was just fine.
I have not heard of anyone else having an issue or no one said anything.

Yes they do and they were working. Mass Live News. Around 12:30 AM. I drive that way a lot for twenty years and bike Rt 5 a lot during good weather. A few times I had to stop for a freight delivering, picking up. Waited until they were back on the main. Never in a hurry when train watching. Got to b...

I rail fan in Northampton at a former Union Station with an Amtrak platform nearby. Good dining also. Right next to US, Rt 5. Signals a little North and South of the spot. Goes from dual track to single track at the North side. A rail trail either side of the main line I ride bicycle a lot during go...

One fellow I talked to said the rail was moved to one side for this install. Have not verified this yet. No idea who he heard it from or how much the rail was shifted.
I bike by there regularly.

A rail trail tunnel under Pan Am Railway line which also handles Amtrak. This tunnel connects two rail trails. Lots of steel work was needed. The tunnel is under a one track location just after a two rail section where we use to walk our bikes across. In a residential are many people cross. Those wi...

I have been going there since it opened. Nice to see more ATM's. Remember, one ATM at the entrance to the BLC with long lines. From now to at least the 29th, WC predicts forty to fifty with maybe rain the second day of the show. Sat 40 degrees and partly sunny. Sunday 40% chance of rain and 39 F. BU...

Ok. Never been back there. I use to see freight cars a lot outside at one time. Might be two years ago I was riding my bicycle from the rail trail up to Hamp on Rt 5 and had to stop at the crossing for a freight. About six years ago I picked up one of the Atlas HO sound locos that delivers to PAC. G...
