where to begin where to begin
OK...
SPAZZZZZZZ
well
I saw 2 MBTA trains
A truck with a claw loading prefab rail onto a trailer
THEN!!!
so I see a guilford engine coming from the yard
Brakeman gets out walks over "ya gettin some good pictures "
"ya"
so they reverse direction and start heading up a seldom used branch
I have another brief chat and he tells me to continue north and we'll come to a crossing where they do alot of switchin
SO then we come there
no gates
They flagged the loco across!!!
so they get across and start switchin well...
brakeman comes up to me
so I continue watching
so they continue switching and are finnaly done we get back to ayer
a MBCR train was co,ming in only 8 minutes and would've been a great shot side by side with the Guilford loco
Mom said we had to go
Oh well
it was an AWESOME day

Alex- please be careful not to post something here that could get your friendly crew in trouble.

Also- you have misspelled "stupid."

A good railfan never reviels their true connections.. Am i right? :) I have figured out that most of the railroad crews in NH and MA and the New England area are fairly nice to railfans at times.. Everyone seems to forget it's only a hobby as long as you stay out of the way and do not tresspass, your just enjoying a great hobby.
