15-09-03 PHOTOS: Hampshire Heritage

Well my post clock has finally wrapped back around to Labour Day and that means another trip up to New Hampshire via Boston and Amtrak's Downeaster.  This time the stars of the trip were caught at Boston North Station as both Amtrak Phase III heritage unit #145 was leading one of the Downeaster train-sets and an ex-Amtrak, ex-AMT F40PH was also running around in MTBA service.  You saw the video segment last week, now its time for the stills.  If you want to enjoy them all, here is the link.

We begin in Sunnyside, Queens as my train emerges from the East River Tunnel, racing an LIRR trainset on the adjacent track.  With all the changes going in with the East Side Access I figured it would be prudent to get some shots out the back of my Train 172.

With color lights looming I made sure to capture some of the 4 track PRR PL gantries at HAROLD.

Spotted another endangered species in the form of Amtrak AEM-7 #929, playing the protect role at New Haven.

Also at New Haven was a deadline of M-2/4/6 MU's.

Power for my  Train T172 was provided by Amtrak ACS-86 #611.

 Hopping across town I was pleased to discover Phase III heritage P42DC #145.

Sitting across the platform from was leased AMT F40PH #293, which started live as an Amtrak F40PH with possibly the same number.

 Pulling in on the adjacent track was MTBA GP40MC #1139
