Conrail Boston Line West End (May 1999)

This video starts out at Becket with PWSE and FRSE, then both trains again at East Chatham, followed by SEPW starting out of the double track at CP 171. The pond scene is just east of State Line Tunnel along Route 22. SEPW is seen again at Chester. The next train with the quartet of big GEs wasn't identified, but I believe the location was the detector at Becket, followed by "downtown" Huntington.

Pretty high quality for 1999, I'm guessing you were using MiniDV?
