MOAY on the reverse-S curve leading into Johnsonville |
Description: |
The train was rolling along at 35-40 MPH at this point, and chasing it was a challenge. I ended up arriving at my intended photo location about 45 seconds before the train. I got this telephoto shot that shows the train rounding the first curve of the reverse S-curve leading into Johnsonville and illuminated with orange light from the setting sun. This ended up being my favorite photo of the day, and it was a surprise bonus. The photo I had been intending to take here is the next one in sequence... |

A signal's eye view of 206 |
Description: |
The train stopped just short of the Little Hoosac tunnel. I'm on the Route 2 overpass, which is essentially the west portal of the short tunnel just before North Adams Yard. Why they were held here on the main rather than being allowed to proceed another quarter mile forward into the unoccupied yard was a puzzlement to me. |

MEC 376 |
Description: |
The planned rescue power for EDRJ was MEC 376, sitting on the interchange track with Vermont Railway at nearby Hoosick Junction. It had also apparently canned the night before. But the re-crew had not arrived, and I was presented with the opportunity to chase the 206 Autoracks eastbound, so I didn't hang around to see what happened to EDRJ. |

EDRJ canned |
Description: |
I went to Eagle Bridge to see if there was any sort of rescue underway for EDRJ which had canned on the number 1 track at Eagle Bridge the night befoe. The trailing unit, MEC 515 had cut out. EDRJ is waiting for a re-crew, and rescue power to take it the rest of the way to Rotterdam Jct. Neither had showed up at the time of my visit. |

Eastbound autoracks crossing the Hoosic River |
Description: |
This bridge previously had a 10 MPH slow order, and I was expecting the train to cross slowly. Instead it came across at track speed - 40 MPH. Pan Am must have worked on the east pier to allow lifting the slow order. |

MEC 380 in the hole |
Description: |
I saw this manifest freight waiting to depart eastbound from Hemstreet Park. It looks like the east end of a passing siding, which it normally is, but about a mile to the west of here the track is currently torn out for work on the Hudson River bridge. So this train had to back into the siding to clear the main for AYMO, which had just passed. I reckoned I could soon be chasing this manifest eastward. |

Taken from the Hansen Road overpass. Schaghticoke Hill is where the former B&M climbed out of the Hudson River valley. I don't know this for a fact, but I surmise that this climb up from the Hudson River might be the eastbound ruling grade on Pan Am district 3. |
