Dashing Up The Freight Cutoff

B&M GP-9 Bluebirds dust it up as they leave the Fitchburg Main and onto the Freight Cutoff on the Belmont-Cambridge line just east of Hill's Crossing for the final 3 miles or so to Mystic Yard in Somerville. Apologies for the blurring, but it was not easy taking an action picture with Kodachrome ASA 25 film in the low winter light.

How can you beat Bluebirds tearing it up in the snow?

So that is JUST east of the crossing, right? B&M call box, too!
