The RBBX Red Circus Train splits the westbound home signals at CP 83 in Palmer, MA during its final journey as a working circus train, headed from Hartford to Providence by this rather round-about route along the Boston & Albany. Power was CSXT 5291 (ES40DC) and CSXT 883 (ES44AC-H) for this leg of the journey. 50 or so years ago it could have headed east out of Hartford via Willimantic and Plainfield, CT to Providence. Would have made for an interesting chase.
