Westbound freight POED (Portland ME- East Deerfield MA) is screaming through the "bike shop" in Fitchburg Mass as the engineer opens up to the 8th notch for the assault up the long grade to Gardner. An interesting mix of power is in charge of the train today with GP40 #308, GP35 #206, GP9 #77, GP35 #214 and GP40 #374. Catching the GP9 on the train as working power was a real catch!
