Since 1841, the rails of the old Western Rail Road (later Boston & Albany, and for the time-being CSXT’s Boston Line) have served as a conduit of commerce through the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts.

My friend Mel Patrick has often posed the question: ‘must all railroad photos show trains?’
