Title:  NYC Babbling Brook is the first car on this amazing train
Description:  Passing through CPF-WA (Western Ave). It was at this moment that I made a very crazy choice to try and catch this train again at CPF-BY (Bleachery), barely over one mile by rail to the east! The train was crawling so I thought it would be doable!

Title:  Amtrak 44 leads the AAPRCO special through CPF-BY (Bleachery)
Description:  I had previously caught the train at CPF-WA (Western Ave), barely over one mile to the west! I had to haul ass through Lowell to get this shot and I arroved just as the train was coming. I shoved the car in park and jumped out, whereupon I slipped and badly scraped my right elbow and hands! Fortunately the camera was fine!
