**WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY!** 1/25/09: After most likely getting a late departure out of Boston, CSX mixed intermodal train Q117 (Boston, MA - Chicago, IL) makes its way west and smacks across the diamond over NECR tracks at CP-83 at Palmer, MA, milepost 83 on the Boston Subdivision, as viewed from the Steaming Tender Restaurant. At 12:25 in the morning, the conditions were pretty RAW at Palmer. As in the video before this, the Q423 is still stuck under the reds at CP-83. About 2 minutes after the Q117 cleared, the dispatcher informed the Q117 that it "got by those signals by the skin of its teeth", as the DS had to shut down the signals at Palmer for an hour or more, due to the problems by another dispatcher. When I left the tracks at 12:30, the Q423 still hadn't moved an inch... Road Power: ES40DC / AC6000CW / ES40DC (didn't manage to grab the roadnumbers) http://www.photorunby.com
