The Patriot Corridor between Ayer, Massachusetts and Mechanicville, New York is Norfolk Southern's access to the Boston market. Run as Pan Am Southern, the line was refurbished and developed jointly by NS and Guilford Transportation. We'll see the daily pig trains, usually with NS power, coal trains with NS, BNSF, Providence & Worcester and UP power, and Pan Am trains with both the old orange and gray paint, and the new dark blue paint scheme. Narration on/off. Dolby 2.0 audio.

I really enjoyed this video. Growing up in Mechanicville with B&M and D&H. I wished to NS engines on those rails. Large number of different engine types and locations. Great job on this video

Highball did a really great job of presenting the West End (the Patriot Corridor)in its current condition. With improved track, train speeds have increased substantially. Pan Am recently acquired locomotives, and you'll see pure lashups of Pan Am painted power leading trains across the system. At Ayer, the MBTA adds variety as well as the AY-1 local. An exciting meet was caught at Rowe (near Hoosac Tunnel), where a westbound freight climbs the grade in the siding while MOAY can be heard in the distance blowing for the River Road crossing coming in the other direction. There were plenty of other interesting shots, but that one was my favorite. Anyone (especially those who have interest in Pan Am) will enjoy this production.

This is.... a rainbow video. Nearly every colour of paint that has been used in railroad paint schemes have been used in this video. There is a wide variety of power from various companies, both class 1's & shortline/regionals are running in this video. The scenery is as awesome as the trains themselves. Very impressive.
