RJED\u2014Rotterdam Junction to East Deerfield, a good ol\u2019 fashioned carload freight.<\/p>\n

Yesterday (Monday November 16, 2015), I heard the train working at Hoosick Junction and set up at Hoosick Falls. After a bit of a wait, I was rewarded by the roar of diesels.<\/p>\n

The 3rd<\/sup> locomotive in consist was one of the former Quebec, North Shore & Labrador SD40-2 in fresh Pan Am Railways blue.<\/p>\n

The Boston & Maine west end is an old stomping ground, and I\u2019m well-versed with locations and the chase route, so I made the most of a clear sunny afternoon. It helps to know where to go, where to park, when to zip ahead, and when to relax.<\/p>\n

Fresh Pan blue paint, that\u2019s pretty cool; and a freight with all EMD 645 diesels, sounded great!<\/p>\n
