Road Trip - Railfanning

At Utica, NY a CSXT WB pulled down to the west end of the yard, cut off and headed into the yard to make a lift while we watched on Thursday morning, May 30 2021. 

Here are a few views from our trip to Springfield, Ma. on Wednesday and Thursday. We visited Mile Post Hobbies in Amsterdam but found out one of our favorite shops Mohawk Valley has closed. At Palmer the hobby shop there was also closed for the day saving us a lot of money...George Dutka

At Utica, NY we also saw a CSXT EB fly by. The speed limit through town is quite high.

A Mass Central transfer job in Palmer had a couple really clean GTW boxcars included in the cut, May 30 2024.
At the tail end of the transfer was another clean looking geep pushing. I was able to capture it with a CSXT EB at the diamond...something I normally don't see.
The NECR in Palmer had a switcher working but we found the lineup of layover engines more interesting. May 30, 2024.

  1. From Keith MacCauley. Very nice. Palmer is a great location. If you are into antiques and flea market paraphernalia there is a massive event just down the road in Brimfield that takes place three times each year in May, July and September. P.S. When you have a minute George, please send your email coordinates to my work email. Many thanks.

  2. Hi Keith we actually went through Brimfield on Sunday and noted the fields were full of tents. There may have been a big event the day before or weekend before. More on my trip shortly...George
