Nice.

Thank u for sharing that.

Very interesting movie! What was the location of the depot on the north side of the double track that 405 is approaching as it passes #28? I'm guessing it's somewhere between Ashland MA (depot is on the south side of the track) and Worcester, which is the location of the RDC departing at the end of the movie. If so, that means depot is Cordaville, Southville, or North Grafton (Westborough depot is on the south side of the tracks). Thanks.

Good question -- trying to get the memories from the 60's to load into my brain leaves me a little stumped.  Yes, it is between Ashland and Worcester.  My guess, given track layout and road crossings, would be Southville.
