Seemingly Unchanged
After driving back from the Eagle Bridge area I dropped in to East Deerfield for a look off the famous 'railfan bridge.' I'd already missed EDSP and all that was working was EDBF puttering about before building their train to head north to New Hampshire up the Conn River main. But I didn't feel like waiting around for that so took a few long telephoto shots for posterity.
It doesn't look like it's approaching a year since CSXT acquired Pan Am and out here nothing has seemingly changed. The railroad has continued to be operated in the same manner with the same power pending the start up of the new Berkshire and Eastern Railroad to operate the former Pan Am Southern property as a neutral third party on behalf of owners NS and CSXT. I expect that this scene will look much different this time next year and it won't have that gritty old Guilford/Pan Am feel.
In the background behind EDBF's two B40-8s rise the sand towers painted in faded Guilford gray and orange with a pair of blue SD40-2s and a Guilford gray GP40-2W waiting for their next call.
