L005 yesterday was huge as well

[@KevlarVTX]

Nice. Where’d you see it?

[@ssrailvideos]

@@KevlarVTX at Framingham Station, as the power came by L002 pull up to the light on the west wye, cool to see

[@KevlarVTX]

@@ssrailvideos Nice! Ive been trying to see the Q436 eastbound into Framingham but dont have the slightest idea when it runs.

[@ssrailvideos]

@@KevlarVTX so L002 is Q436. Q436 was cut to Worcester when Q437 was abolished. L002 goes OD around 10:30pm in Worcester and usually departs around midnight working Westboro on its eastbound trip. Typically gets into Framingham between 4-6am on average. Yards it's train wyes the power and gets there new paperwork for the westbound trip

@@ssrailvideos Ah, now that’s great info. Thanks a lot.

[@dcrailmedia8054]

That’s a giant compared to the 3 car L002 I saw yesterday 😂😂😂😂

[@KevlarVTX]

I saw it in Ashland. What a dud.

[@dcrailmedia8054]

@@KevlarVTX yeah it’s funny because they took 12 years to build the train and they waited another 12 for 725😂😂😂😂😂

[@KevlarVTX]

@@dcrailmedia8054 Seems to me like the days of 130 car B722s are over. 80, 40, or 2 cars now, give or take. Did see a long one go under me while on the Pike on a Sunday around 4:30 about a month ago.

@@KevlarVTX it's a Monday L002 is bound to be very lite. No locals running except probably a Sunday L004. Nevins has only a hand full of loads so they just took a cut from North yard. L002 hasn't changed in size since the days of it being Q437

@@dcrailmedia8054 took them 10 mins to grab the cars and do the brake test. Getting there paperwork from the office before building is was takes time. Keolis has a ptc failure at cp22 so L005s arrival was pushed to the next window. L002 called keolis as L005 was arriving in nevins and they couldn't leave cp22 until L005 got its train yarded
