Thanks for uploading this, John. Pretty cool seeing some freight action at BET and Porter Square. Also, I assume you taped this when you got back from Haverhill, on 3702?

Yes the Guilford crews are fully qualified. I should know I was the conductor on this one.

Thanks for catching this! Guilford crews wouldn't be quailfied to run trains over those sections of track, correct? So does a T engineer have to ride along to tell the Guilford crew the track speed and so on? I've often wondered it works when a crew operates along track they don't normally run on.
