1/23/10: After accidently hitting the Dimiss button and not the Snooze button on the alarm on the phone this morning, I ended up sleeping in when I should have been in Worcester in trainland all day. After a FREEZING day on Pan Am District 2 the day before already on 4 hours of sleep (and seeing NO Pan Am for that matter), I was for the most part DEAD this Saturday morning after. So i.e, I slept past noon. 

ANYWAY, after a full day of no freight on Pan Am the day before and NO action when there should have been earlier in the day, I decided that I couldnt let this weekend be a COMPLETE railfanning failure, so I headed out to make a last stand in the attempt to bag the Saturday-only Q105 out of Boston. After almost 2 hours of waiting and a commuter later, the Q105 finally got its train together and proceeded west out of Beacon Park Yard, making its presence known over the radio. Power today was a STACKED lashup of GEs, almost a one locomotive per load ratio! :P
