Deep In Zoar Gap
Berkshire and Eastern train EDMO (East Deerfield to Mohawk curls through the woods near Zoar Gap at about MP 112 on B&E's former Pan Am Freight Main, the former Boston and Maine Fitchburg Division. This train originated in Ayer as train SAED and will turn into Norfolk Southern train 11R at Mechanicville for continuation down the old Delaware and Hudson to East Binghamton Yard. But first they will have to meet train B100 at CPF 414 and then head through the Hoosac Tunnel.
Berkshire and Eastern is a Genesee and Wyoming owned company which was created to serve as the neutral third party operator of the former Pan Am Southern property as a condition of the sale of Pan Am Railways to CSX in 2022. The train is led by the standard SD60E which is necessary due to it being one of a small fleet of this model equipped with ACSES for operation on the MBTA property east of Westminster.
