8/15 – some time at Palmer

Still catching up on things here on the old blog.  Here’s some stuff from back in the middle of August where I spent a bit of time up in Palmer, MA.  It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to head up there, but as things worked out it went rather well overall.

This was another one of our “family trips” to do a little train watching/photography.  On a whim, we headed up to Palmer, MA to see what we could see, despite the cloudy weather.  Short version is we managed to catch Amtrak’s northbound Vermonter, an eastbound CSX freight scaring off some birds perched on the NECR/CSX diamond, and some resting power at the New England Central offices.  Overall, not a bad couple hours at the diamond.
