If I had a nickel for every time i shot a blue standard cab Dash 8 lead out of the Hoosac tunnel recently I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice- Florida, MA

B&E extra train, XOED emerges from the Hoosac tunnel this afternoon with an uncommon trio of C40-8’s. Anywhere east of Gardner this would be pretty typical, although the standard cabs don’t see service leading much west of Deerfield due to their ACSES II capabilities, making it quite nice to see a trio of them out here, nonetheless with a fully unpatched blue leader.
