2/19/10: Well, the tracks of the Patriot Corridor and Pan Am District 3 have been absolutely NUTS with foreign power this winter...that is, only on the days where I'm unable to get trackside. When I've got too much work, or at home for the weekend, NS has been sending RIDICULOUS lashups east on it's 22K intermodal train, which remain on once they hit the D&H tracks in Binghamton, then onto Pan Am for it's ride into New England. Lashups include various makes and models from both Union Pacific AND BNSF, and since there are NO cab signals to be found here...this power ALWAYS leads. 

But FINALLY, I happened to be in the right state at the right time, with a chunk of time to spare so I could take a late AM commuter out of Boston's North Station across the MBTA Fitchburg Line to have time to set up and wait for the AYMO, complete with H2 and H3 BNSF run-through power. I decided to set up at my one of my favorite locations on the east end of District 3, CPF-GL in Fitchburg, otherwise known as Gallagher Interlocking, situated less than half a mile east of the Fitchburg MBTA station. 

I was getting real scared after the clock struck 2, given that the AYMO has a 1:30PM departure from Ayer, and that I HAD to take the 3:05 commuter back to Boston to finish up some things before a BIG day of railfanning the following day. But at 2:36PM, I looked up...and saw orange rounding the corner!!
