| Description: |
Train 206 with run-through NS power heading east to Gardner, MA where some of the autoracks interchange with the P&W then the rest of the autoracks continue on Pan Am Southern to the automobile unloading facility in Ayer, MA. A westbound counterpart collects empty auto racks for return to the factories. |

Eastbound autoracks crossing the Hoosic River |
| Description: |
This bridge previously had a 10 MPH slow order, and I was expecting the train to cross slowly. Instead it came across at track speed - 40 MPH. Pan Am must have worked on the east pier to allow lifting the slow order. |

NS 8350 crosses the Hoosic River again |
| Description: |
This is about a mile short of the small yard and passing siding in North Adams. I took the photo from the Route 2 bridge over the Hoosic. |

A signal's eye view of 206 |
| Description: |
The train stopped just short of the Little Hoosac tunnel. I'm on the Route 2 overpass, which is essentially the west portal of the short tunnel just before North Adams Yard. Why they were held here on the main rather than being allowed to proceed another quarter mile forward into the unoccupied yard was a puzzlement to me. |
