Two strange looking pieces of MOW equipment sitting at the end of the Millis Industrial Line. They bore CSX markings, so they're probably there to do something on the Framingham-Walpole line. Any information on either would be appreciated. UPDATE: Thanks to Nick Reynolds, I can add the following: "The one on the left is a Tamper. It has little prongs that force ballast (crushed rocks) under the ties if there is a sinking spot. the one on the right is a Ballast Regulator. It moves ballast to the middle of the rails for the tamper to tamp." A big 'Thank You' to Nick.
