CSX M427 on the Rickety Worcester main 7/17/22

Like tigers sneaking through the forest, CSX M427 heads west down the Rickety Ex Pan Am Worcester main at Boylston, MA inroute from Portland Maine to Selkirk, NY.
CSX has begun dropping Rail and clearing brush, getting ready to make this line a main artery in and out of New England.
Enjoy.

I live right near it, good to see that csx will take some care of it!! I saw a train going to Worcester this morning, but I didn’t have the time to identify it.

Update on this: CSX just put in welded rail and had most of Route 140 shutdown to that crossing, redid everything there besides the actual crossing gates

Good catch, Skyman. Thanks for posting.

That's some weird looking track and location

[@tomroise9426]

Can’t understand how and why such a big train is running down this old line?
Please explain for those of us out of state ?? Thx

[@skyman2002]

This particular line acts as a Bridge Line between two different railroads. it is the only route between CSX's main line in Worcester Massachusetts and What used to be Pan Am Railways main line to the state of Maine.
Pan Am didn't care about the track maintenance and track speeds went from 40 mph to 10.
They're currently dropping Welded rail as we speak, to upgrade the line, since csx bought it from Pan Am.
