B740 waits at CP-60 for Q008 to pass |
Description: |
B740, which has historically been a West Springfield to Palmer turn, has added dropping off autoracks at East Brookfield to its duties. Normally that has been done by a dedicated unit train, Q264, but the downturn in business due to COVID-19 has meant the traffic now longer warrants its own train. On this day it has dropped off a mere 3 autoracks and is waiting on Q008 to pass before heading back to West Springfield. |
