Since 32 parallels the New England Central Railroad&#8217;s mainline the entire way through Connecticut, I had my scanner on hoping to run into NECR train 610 working somewhere.  Looking at my watch, I figured I would see them either in Franklin, or switching the CC Lonsbury facility in South Windham.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Well, my second guess was right &#8211; as I passed the intersection of 32 and 207 in Franklin, I started hearing crackly voices over the scanner on the NECR frequency.  Heading further north, the voices became clearer, and it was a pretty sure thing that they were at the new Lonsbury facility just south of Route 203 in South Windham.<\/p>\n<p>So I pulled into the driveway and found 610&#8217;s power across the grade crossing.
