Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I thought it was. It was reasonably priced and centrally located related to the main action in the Harrisburg area. And the views from the B&B itself are very good. The staff was friendly too. I definitely recommend it!

Thanks! That idea had been on my list for quite a while but it took a long time for it to happen. I believe that L004's crew goes on duty at 1130 in North Yard. I believe they set off circa 1-1.5 hours later, putting them at California Ave. around 1245-1330. But like all things related to freight trains, YMMV.

Nice coincidence.

Thanks. I kind of figured that if L005 continued to WOR, it would do so with standard cabs. But I thought I had heard of it occasionally using L002's power on that westward run. Also, someone on one of the FB groups has repeatedly referred to a morning train as L002 (e.g. 10/2/24 "L002 Grafton west @8:49am. C&O heritage unit third out."); so based on that, I figured he knew what he was talking about. The morning of my video, I heard a crew on the scanner call themselves L005 and say they were waiting for L002 to double their train in Nevins. So I guessed that the train I saw was one of those. But what do I know? I'll update the video as best as I can.

You're quite welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Interesting. I can't remember how we came to believe it was I010. I think I heard it on my scanner. But my son also had a friend over in Amsterdam, telling us what was headed our way, including train ID's, so we may have gotten it from him. But if you think it's unlikely to have been I010, I can't argue with you since I'm a Massachusetts guy. :-) That's only my third time railfanning in the Albany area. Always an enjoyable time though!

​@tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611 I think you're correct with the symbol

I hope to get my next video from that day out in the next day or so. Three more trains we caught at VO.

Oh cool

Me too! :-)

Thanks for the reply! I've caught L010 and L011 there individually, but I hadn't caught them on the same day like that. So it was cool how it all came together. And then it was fun to go to Readville as I hadn't been there in 2-3 years and hadn't caught a loaded L010 there before.

@@tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611 You sounded like Colonel Hannibal Smith from the A-Team, "I love it when a plan comes together." Keep up the good work.

Hello Kathryn Hauser. Sorry I missed the newer comments on this one. I hope you're well.

Hi Joshua. Sorry but I don't have the answers to your questions. But I wish you luck in your quest to become a railroader!

Thanks for the feedback, nightrider.

Thanks!

No problem, how are you Tony

@@kathrynhauser9663 I am good, Kathryn - ready for the weekend. Sorry, for some reason I didn't recognize your profile name when I read and responded to your comment last night.

No it's ok, I know

It was stormy lately. 🌧️

Thanks

Thanks, Deano!

hi Stephen. You're quite welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. That is actually the second biggest consist I've ever seen for that train (33 being the longest). It goes up to Leominster on I believe Mon, Wed and Fri and only goes to I believe Clinton on Tue and Thu. The trains are longer on the Leominster days as they have two or maybe three customers up that way.

One more thing. If you follow my channel, wait for my next L004 video. It features the second shortest instance of this local train that I've ever videoed.

Hey Seth! Good to hear from you. I hope you're doing well and that you've seen some good trains in your area! I was indeed excited to finally catch the bluebirds in action as I had been to Palmer seven times without spying them at all since the last time I saw MCER in person. If you want to know how my year is doing, you can read the first sentence in the description of my video entitled 'Last Day Out Fanning Before My “Break”: Amtrak P449 & CSX M437 in Wormtown, Plus a Mini M426 Chase'. But I'm happy to report that the surgery was a success and I'm recovering nicely. -Tony

Thank you very much!

@@tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611Is that the CSX train that goes through Framingham near Rt.9 near the Motel 6?

@@oscarobrien That is not the same train. The one you're referring to is a branch line that goes northwest from Framingham to Leominster. The train that goes on that line is called L004. I have other videos of that train on my channel.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Good to hear from you, Deepak!

Where in Ashland? I usually go to Main St., though the T station is solid too. I work less than 10 minutes from there.

@@tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611 Cherry St

That's my guess but I don't actually know.

Thanks for the response. I've never tried to go to Nevins. So I'm not sure where to go hang out there. Whenever I pass by it, I wonder where I could stop.

Thanks, Seth. I hope you are well.

@@tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611 Thank you, Tony! I am well here! Very busy season, but life is good. I hope you and yours are also well!

Ah, thanks for that theory, Kenneth!

Glad you liked it

I believe because there was no room in the yard for them. A westbound train (M439?) was working in the yard (which isn't very large) so I suspect this train had to wait for that other one to head west before entering the yard.

Ty now I see

Thanks, Seth! I was so excited to catch that train there, especially since it wasn't what I went to Worcester to see! It's officially the longest P&W train I've ever seen (and it's not close)!

No kidding! I've caught CSX M427 and that train there recently. The "screechiest" place I've ever been, including Horseshoe Curve!

Thanks, Seth! 👍

LOL, good luck with that!

Thanks for the kind words and for the sub!

@@tjstrainsakatonyjordan8611 No problem down to do the same?
