I was debating whether or not I wanted to ride on the commuter rail on “Free Fridays” or look out for Heritage locomotives on the line in and around Boston North Station. Afternoons are fantastic for shooting action in this area and the weather was gorgeous this day. It was highly recommended that I spend some time by Boston Sand and Gravel and around Tower A just north of the drawbridges as the tower is due for demolition shortly as the bridge area will be rebuilt. We catch train after train on the Commuter Rail with so much classic EMD power, you easily get spoiled rotten. We see a couple of Blue MASSDOT GP40MC’s as well as the #1130 Easter Egg GP40MC. Of course the F40’s were plentiful including several catches of the #1030 B&M Heritage plus the F40PH-4C #1005
