I had break the other week and so I decided to go to Fresh Pond for some railfanning. I went during the mid afternoon hours on a Friday thinking that there wouldn't be any type of activity going on, I thought the yard would be dead. To my surprise, it was as busy as I've ever seen it. Crews were moving cars to be interchanged with CSX and PW. Here are some videos documenting some of the action I caught in the one hour period I was there. Unfortunately, there was more but it was too cold outside to record everything, and so I recorded only the best parts. I hope you guys enjoy!!

If anyone knows what symbols these trains were, and the times they switch the yard, feel free to comment. This way, I know what time to go to see some great action!
