On our return from Cape Cod last month, we paused at Norfolk, Massachusetts for lunch and to roll by MBTA Train 2706 on its way to Boston, South Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During an earlier visit to Norfolk two years ago, Kris and I noted that MBTA\/Keolis was working to install two-main track (signaled in both directions on both tracks) on this portion of the Franklin Line\u2014a former New Haven Railroad route that was at one time graded for directional- double track, but in my lifetime has been a single track railroad.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some progress was made and on this visit I noted that new signals and crossovers were in place on both sides of Norfolk, however the track through the station has not yet been completed, and the signal heads turned away, indicating they were not yet in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using my Nikon Z6 with 70-200mm lens, I made these trailing views of train 2706 looking toward Walpole and Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
