They will pull up to the interlocking and hold while the Housatonic crew performs their work and presumably to wait for eastbound counterpart M424 which was already by Post Road Junction. This is the classic view toward 1791 ft Day Mountain in Dalton was taken from the Junction Road overpass at CP147 on modern day CSXT’s Berkshire Subdivision, the one time Boston and Albany Railroad mainline.
