Passenger Trains > Canton Jct. MA shots from March 8Date: 03/17/16 19:13 Canton Jct. MA shots from March 8 Author: erielackawanna Image one is of a train from Stoughton coming off the Stoughton Branch.
Image two is a fast moving Amtrak NE Regional. Image three is an MBTA train to Providence.    Date: 03/17/16 19:14 Re: Canton Jct. MA shots from March 8 Author: erielackawanna Went down to the viaduct after that and caught this Acela.

(I don't see an engineer in the cab) Also, looking at the photo is the branch to the right or left? and is the branch in the distance of the photo or behind you?
Appears to be in push mode as markers are brighter and no headlamp(s) as in photo #3. I'm still puzzled. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 03/18/16 08:25 by boejoe. Date: 03/18/16 08:39 Re: Canton Jct. MA shots from March 8 Author: knotch8 Yes, very nice photos. Thanks for taking and posting them.
Yes, the first MBTA train is pushing toward Boston, coming off of the Stoughton Branch, which goes out of the photo to the bottom right. The track to the left is the Amtrak (ex-New Haven) main line toward Providence. The line toward the top of the photo is the main line going to Boston. Edited 1 time(s).

Now the main question is did you visit the Honey Dew Donuts before or after these pictures were taken? Jim Date: 03/20/16 18:24 Re: Canton Jct. MA shots from March 8 Author: erielackawanna tq-07fan Wrote:
