CSX NS and PAS at Ayer, MA

[@katuahbill]

Nice shots but it confuses me. CSX shows M427 as a Waterville, ME. to Selkirk, NY. train. NS lists 11R as a Mechanicsville, NY to East Binghamton train. CSX lists LA4 as L073 a Lawrence yard switcher. How was M427 and 11R both in Ayer? Do you have an update on trains originating, terminating, working or changing crews at Ayer?

M427 Travels down to Ayer, then down the Worcester main to Worcester and continues West to Selkirk. 16R (Eastbound) and 11R (Westbound) are Pan Am Southern extensions of the NS train using the same symbols. They run between Mechanicsville and Ayer. LA4 is indeed a Lawrence based crew, I have no clue why they were all the way down in Ayer, but that's typical of this railroad regardless of whether it is owned by Guilford, Pan Am or now CSX.

@@cnw4127 TY. I assume they work or change crews at Ayer YD still.
