ST WARJ
Title:  ST WARJ
Description:  To complicate the symbol game even further, this is WARJ. originally, it was EDRJ, and was changed to WARJ, I assume around the same time WAMO was changed back to EDMO. ABCD.... This is one of the few "Phase 1" painted units left.

Hark!  A train still cometh!
Title:  Hark! A train still cometh!
Description:  Back in the day, the entire tunnel was 10 MPH, and took nearly 30-minutes to pass through. Now it is 20 and times through have been cut in half. Not good for railfans, since you used to be able to shoot at train in North Adams, then race here and get set-up before the train arrived.

ST SEED
Title:  ST SEED
Description:  I pity the crews that spent 30 minutes in that tunnel (which, by the way, has signals IN it) - just when their eyes adjust to the dark, bammo, they are confronted with the light.

ST SEED
Title:  ST SEED
Description:  I was very excited to have the 340 leading, since it is one of the few Phase 1 painted units remaining.

ST SEED
Title:  ST SEED
Description:  Passing by the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum (you can see the poles on the far right) we have head-on lighting for the SEED. I chased this train all the way to East Deerfield, which was my first visit ever to the sprawling B&M yard complex.
