An eastbound Pan Am Railways loaded coal train accelerates out of East Deerfield and begins the climb out of the Connecticut River Valley through Montague, MA at 12:30 pm on 12/15/07. Switch troubles have necessitated the crossover to the normally westbound main (the train can be seen crossing in the distance). It is a mystery as to why the crew left the front door open. Air conditioning was certainly not needed on this day as temperatures were only in the 20's.
