The Ultimate Opportunity
With a welded rail train from A&K Railroad Materials for Keolis coming in from CSX, we expected to see some sort if unique move but nothing like this. On the day of, I got a text while running errands that the pair of ACSES equipped AC44s for L002 were running east from Worcester as Y101 with the Welded rail train in tow. Knowing that Y101s crew at the time was the only CSX crew qualified to Beacon Park I began to put 2 and 2 together. Although there was some uncertainty of how far Y101 was going to take this railtrain I just had a feeling that it would be a good idea to get trackside as this could be my opportunity to get the one shot I have always dreamed of, CSX wide cabs in Boston. Luckily for me, this move had some additional work to do in Framingham. A 85ft car of 115lb stick rail out of Steel dynamics in Arcola was also billed for MBTA to be unloaded at the yard 10 T pad. That work in Framingham gave me just the right amount of time for me to make it to Wellesley Farms just as this CSX extra called clear of a foreman's 135s limits in Wellesley. After seeing them I was off the Beacon Park without thinking to get pictures of them working the yard with the Boston skyline. To conclude, I somehow managed to leapfrog this lite power on the westbound from Beacon Park back to Wellesley Farms with some aggressive driving to get my iconic Wellesley Farms Westbound shot!
