2/19/10: After the PUMPKINED-OUT AYMO passed with a solid lashup of gorgeous BNSF power, I decided to pack everything up and head back to the Fitchburg T station to catch the 3:05 train back into Boston, to get back early to take care of some other things I had to get done before departing with a group of friends for a day of railfanning along the Mohawk and CSX's high speed, high density Chicago Line. (which involved taking the last Fitchburg Line train to North Leominster, where me and YouTube user diburning would get picked up for a drive all through the night to New York) 

Anyway, as I packed everything up and walked back towards the road, I heard something in the background that would make ANY railfans ears perk up...you guessed it, the throb of notched-out EMD's. As I turned and looked around, I saw nothing but a pair of SD40-2 Helm leasers heading uphill with a freight! I didn't have time to whip out the D80 and shoot stills, or have time to set up the tripod, but I most CERTAINLY had enough time to break out the backup-cam and shoot a handheld! Funny, because this would mark the first handheld video I've EVER uploaded to YouTube, the first handheld video I've taken in YEARS for that matter! Although the NMED was only 27 cars today, it was still to make those 645 engines SING up the hill to Gardner.
