Is that the only track out to Western MA? If it is, we have a long way to go.

@yarmo28 There's Actually Many To Name Here. We Have A CSX Main Line That Runs East-west Between Selkirk New york And Boston, Hosting 20-25 Trains A Day. The Northern Route Is Pan Am Which Runs Between Mohawk NY And Portland Maine, And Has 4 Trains A Day. The North To South Route, Which Is NECR, Runs Between New London, CT And ST Albans VT. NECR Runs 4 Trains A Day, Plus Two Vermonters, As Seen Here. Another North South Route Is The Housatonic Railroad, A Few Trains A Week. Hope This Helps!

Man, a lot of bright red lights. Is one of the signals mounted on its own signal box?

[skyman2002]

@PereMarquette1223 I Think At Some Point It Was A Relay Case, But The Real One IS To The Right.

@skyman2002 Thanks. What a complete run-down on all the activity. I think the first you mentioned (NY to Boston) runs through our city and does carry a lot of freight, but I've only seen one passenger train in several decades. Since Amtrak got rid of the Montrealer, we have only a diesel shuttle between Springfield and New Haven. I think my granddaughter took a train from Springfield to Boston, but it was a disaster - a trip that should have been no more than two hours was 5 hours long.

Looks like someone forgot to chanage the pusher's light from Headlights to running lights.

where is the famous vermonter baggage car with the beautiful paint job???

WRRS stands for Western Railroad Supply, a signal manufacturing company which was credited for introducing the first automatic gate/signal combination back in 1936. That signal was called the Model 10, and it is still being made (in a more modern form, of course) by the descendent of WRRS now known as Western Cullen Hayes.
