An early evening SEPO (Selkirk, NY - Portland, ME.) blasts East by the School St. crossing on Pan Am's Stony Brook branch. This fairly long train with a nice variety of mixed frieght is making great time as it's crew takes advantage of the recent increse in track speed for this given stretch (making for a quite a nice show as they break the silence of this cold Winter night). **Also note that GRS loco. #343, in toe, is making its return trip home from a rare and extended stay in the MidWest U.S. region and is likely headed to Waterville, ME. for some repairs after hitching a ride on this train** Enjoy!

@newpylong Ok, maybe not Blasts, but if you know anything about Pan Am's Stony Brook branch...especially through this part of Chelmsford, you'd know that this particular stretch had been limited to 10 mph for quite some time ( not too long ago)...therefore, 25-30 mph specifically through this crossing is Quick in my book (probably since growing up, I never saw trains exceed 15 here)
