I’ve been photographing trains around Greenfield, Massachusetts for more than 40 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes there have been long waits. Sometimes I got lucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, Kris and I were driving south on I-91. I asked, “would you like to stop by East Deerfield Yard” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said “ok!”, so we jumped off the Interstate at Route 2, and took the roundabout (traffic circle) and headed east. At that moment I saw containers rolling east on the old Boston & Maine Fitchburg line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That’s 22K, the NS intermodal train”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We zipped over to East Deerfield Yard\u2014located railroad timetable east of Greenfield\u2014where I had just enough time to make these photos using my new Nikon Z7-II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing fancy, but these are lucky shots. I was delighted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always like it when luck prevails!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these ‘in the bag’, we drove to the Connecticut River bridge for more photos. Why waste a lucky day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
