NX-12 at Pittsfield |
| Description: |
After a failed attempt of chasing NX-12 northbound and nearly two hours of waiting in the hot sun, we were delighted to see Housatonic Railroad Train NX-12 passing the Pittsfield (Massachusetts) Amtrak Station on the CSX Berkshire Subdivision, southbound en-route to Canaan, Connecticut, with GP35M #3600 and GP35 #3604 as power. The Engineer was also friendly enough to give us a nice wave despite the fact he looked very hot and tired. |

NX-13X in Canaan |
| Description: |
Upon arrival in Canaan, Connecticut, NX-12 underwent a crew and symbol change, with the trains crew change complete and new symbol of NX-13X, the two Electro-Motive "Geeps" begin cutting out empty lime hoppers and boxcars in the Canaan Yard. Soon NX-13X and its new crew will pull out of Canaan for New Millford, Connecticut with four loaded centerbeams destined for a lumber yard in New Millford. The new crew was even friendlier as I got a wave nearly every time the train passed over the Main Street crossing during their switching moves. |
