today my son and i were trackside cause we noticed that the signal was yellow with the switch lined for the siding. well we waited for about 15 mins and sure enough here come a limping pan am frieght.
The best suprise was that lead unit was the sd-26 #621 with the blue 505 trailing and 2 dead units in the trail consist, well as they were doing that i hear a horn in the opposite direction and here comes amtrak downeaster!!! well it came to a dead stop to wait for pan am to clear the main,and we noticed on the last unit of amtrak it was a gp-38 that looked like it came from njt or mbta it seems that they are phasing out the cabbage cars for these??? anyways it was cool to see the new amtrak unit and the sd-26 and old 505
