A steady rain is falling, but we have a good spot, beneath the overpass in North Becket at MP 134. Westbound BOEL is struggling against the wet rails and 1.5 % grade. |

Description: |
BOEL's second and third units, surprisingly, are the ones which are finding it hard to get a grip on the rails, as the train crawls by at no more than 10 mph. |

Overcast and damp, but busy, 09:25, BOEL |
Description: |
It will take 10 minutes for BOEL to pass this location and we have to wait until he passes, since the vehicle is parked on the other side of the tracks. We'll STILL beat him to Washington, 3 1/2 miles further on. |
