0205-0405/12-06-2023 started off with D-2 answering L067 and then giving a broken 241 to the 515 that included "proceed West," "Nashua Subdivision," and "Single," for the first and final D-2 reception of the trip. At 0219, there was Road-side hash and then a broken B&am...

Dear KittyCat- Santa's been stressed these last few years, so I thought I'd try the most direct routing. First of all, thanks for all you've done recently. What's now the Worcester Sub is even better than the former Worcester Main, especially since it had become the Worcester Maim. Even though it's ...

0210-0426/12-04-2023 featured lotsa Channel 1 hash -- unnoted to save my fingers and your eyes -- and no Yard-Channel hash. There was also neither hash nor clarity from either P&W Road or CSX Boston Sub, so dunno about 426/7. At 0244, the 333 WLs were dark, but the 334s would be at Stop, the sam...

0215-0400/12-01-2023 started off at 0216 with P&W Yard hash, an intermittent constant until the end, elevation, distance, and topography permitting. There would be naught, however, from either P&W Road or CSX Boston Sub. At 0220 and from the Rte. 140 Boylston/W. Boylston sag came Dispatcher-...

0215-0415/11-29-2023 featured no shortage of hash from Channels 1 and 2, Boston East, P&W Yard -- even from North Leominster -- and AMTK. The closest to Channel 1 clarity came at 0347 when FI-2 called the B&E who gave a broken 241 to the 502, no other deets cuzza Mount Wachusett. There was a...

0215-0410/11-28-2023 started at the start with the B&E answering AY-3. The next sound outta the speaker was Boston East hash at 0221. At 0232 and +, the B&E would answer AY-3 x3, again naught further until 0236 and more Dispatcher-side hash. Another answer? At 0246, the 333 WLs were dark, as...

0210-0405/11-24-2023 had not even hash from D-1, D-2, the B&E, Road-side, or Yard Channel, so how could I know the scanner was working? CSX Boston Sub garble came at 0218, Boston West at 0253, AMTK hash at 0336, and P&W Yard hash at 0359 and 0405. At 0243, the 333 WLs were dark, as were the ...

0205-0415/11-21-2023 started of in 3 with some P&W Yard hash, an early frequent occurrence. Boston West added to the hash at 0220, then at 0225 and 0229 came Dispatcher-side hash. In line with neman2's post of 2025/11-20, naught would exit the speaker re M426/7. Post refueling stop, there was mo...

Wikipedia has a number of hits for Thomson-Houston and GE in Lynn, including some Red-scare attention from Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wisc, mebbe as part of a union-busting attempt. There's also a Wiki entry for the Saugus River that includes a portion of an older topo with sidings NW off the Eastern D...

At 1044/11-17-2023 XNG noise was made for Temple Street with later WB sounds at appropriate intervals for Shrewsbury, Burncoat, and mebbe even New Bond Streets. Dunno if this was from the 427 that was working the Hill Yard either side of 0400.

0215-0410/11-17-2023 started off with 1st P&W Yard and then AMTK hash followed by silence until 0229 Boston West hash. There would be Road-side hash at 0237 and again at 0239. 0244 would be the start of Yard-Channel hash that would sometimes clear enough to be 427's car countdowns, 3-steps and o...

0210-0405/11-15-2023 started out with FI-2 calling out at 0210 and 0211 to the B&E and saying they didn't know if he wanted call up those guys and talk to "them" about the *garbled* switches, FI-2 next shifting to Yard Channel and hashing. Intermittent Yard-Channel hash would continue ...

0205-0415/11-13-2023 started at the start with Road-side "3-step applied." Dunno who, but given signal strength, it probably was from either at E end of Hill Yard or the Burncoat area. To save suspense, there would be naught else clear outta the speaker on either Channel 1 or the totally s...

0200-0410/11-10-2023 had as its prelude 0045-and-later WB XNG noise at appropriate intervals for Shrewsbury, Temple, and Prescott Streets. At 0202, there was D-2 garble about M427 "being clear of, " and at 0207, Yard- Channel garble started up, FI-3 eventually being IDable when the C or U ...

0205-0355/11-08-2023 had hash aplenty, starting at 0208 and ending at 0335 with the P&W Yard variety, with Boston West, both sides of Channel 1, and Yard Channel on occasion. ZombieZone and Mount Wachusett interferences were also aplenty. In other Mount Wachusett news, even though the temp was m...
