Last week, I exited I-91 at Greenfield, Massachusetts with a vision of nipping over to Pan Am\u2019s East Deerfield Yard\u2014an old haunt that I hadn\u2019t visited in a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As luck would have it, I never made it to the yard. Driving east I spotted former CSX GE DASH8-40Cs working west. It was an empty grain train! A prize indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With no time to spare, and working from memory, I navigated post haste to Wisdom Way\u2014a choice overpass on the former Fitchburg Main Line where I\u2019ve made countless photos over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I arrived in just enough time to set my exposure and capture this elusive freight as it passed in and out of dappled sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not bad for a spontaneous catch. Soon I was on my way in another direction aiming to intercept New England Central 611 on its northward run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned for the results of that adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
