The crew is cruising by the countryside at Byrne road in Fitchburg at a decent clip. The rehab done to this line allows 20mph or so track speed at this location. Sadly, my battery died before I could snap a pic of the restored baby-blue chevy at the grade crossing. |

Rumbling around a curve along Syene Road |

The occupants of the numerous residential developments that sprung up in this area during the intervening years were none too thrilled with the re-opening of the rail line. However, trains are not particularly frequent and usually run during the day. |

Approaching Lacy Road |
| Description: |
After some additional ballasting and rehab work following the initial re-opening in late 2014, by 2016 I observed several of the aggregate trains doing 25 MPH on the old C&NW jointed rail. Not this time, however. Was hoping to catch the units working a little harder with the >120 MTs. At least it allowed for some additional shots. |

Crossing Lacy Road |
| Description: |
When the line was out of service from 1996-2014, the ungated C&NW-era crossing signals still stood here, gradually falling apart. The signal that was once where the one in this picture stands was knocked over by a vehicle sometime prior to 2006, and never replaced until the line was rehabbed at which time the other signal was removed and both replaced with temporary crossbucks. These modern gated signals were installed a year or two later. The "EXEMPT" signage remains due to the crossing's proximity to the intersection with Syene Road, a 4-way stop. |
