Housatonic Railroad NX-13 at Great Barrington |
| Description: |
Due to a longer than expected interchange with CSX Transportation at Pittsfield, NX-12 only made it as far as Lenox, Massachusetts before their shift ended, NX-13 was called out to Lenox to take the train that they normally operate south of Canaan, Connecticut back to Canaan before assembling a new consist for their southbound run to New Milford. The train is seen here roughly half way back to Canaan, crossing the Taconic Avenue Bridge in Great Barrington, Massachusetts with EMD GP35 #3604 leading and #3601 trailing. |

Housatonic Railroad NX-13 at River Road |
| Description: |
An hour and a half after switching the Canaan yards, Housatonic Railroad NX-13 comes around a bend along the Housatonic River on approach to the first River Road crossing in West Cornwall, with HRRC EMD GP35 #3604 and its fouled Conrail-tuned Leslie RS3L air horn leading and GP35s #3601 and #3602 trailing. #3602, which has recently been assigned to NX-10 south of New Milford, but had been taken to Canaan to be serviced and fueled, is now deadheading back to New Milford to take over south-of-New Milford operations from GP35M #3600. Due to track condition, which led to multiple minor derailments in the last few years, a 10MPH speed restriction is now in place south of Canaan, Connecticut, the previous 25MPH limit, which the crews would often push to 30MPH or more, was unsafe. |
