I think there need to be more freight trains on such events.

I shot this at Overcash Road between Marion and Chambersburg Pennsylvania. I had gotten to this spot a bit earlier to watch the J-Class steam locomotive 611 being hauled north to the Strasburg Railroad. While talking to a friend there, we heard another train horn in the distance, so we setup and took some shots of the passing NS Intermodal train heading northbound.
Even through this segment of the Boston and Maine Railroad was abandoned in the late 1970s, the old freight house at Hadley still stands proudly, and appears to be in decent shape. The town's actual station is long gone, but the railroad bed has been paved and is now the Five College Bikeway.
