Clinton West
A late Pan Am Railways Q427 is seen trundling west down the Pan Am Worcester Mainline at Clinton West. Unfortunately the crew was unable to spin the power in Ayer last night so they had to run long hood forward to Worcester where CSX has a westward facing locomotive staged to lead the rest of the way to Selkirk. The Worcester Main is going to be seeing many positive changes in the near future if the Pan Am sale is approved. Traffic will increase, likely bringing up track speeds and much needed brush cutting. There will also be undercutting in several locations to accommodate future double stacked intermodal traffic.
