changes to new engand freight trains

https://youtu.be/Ybl8mtaLEvA?si=Izs-W1dTzDRQYI4K&t=132

212 on this video - cued up

we think the jist of this video is that stacked freight trains will
now run thru the hoosic tunnel instead of running thru chester mass
and westfield mass etc - or in addition to

mot of this particular video shows trains in operation

but there might be a detailed explanation of the changes somewhere on the video

bottom line - the northern route will maybe be getting busier - thru
greenfield and orange and athol and fitchburg etc - (kinda guessing
what that map at 212 shows) - maybe there will be less traffic going
north from worcester to ayer

apparently the major switching yard or intermodal yard is at ayer

the chester cam shows maybe 1 train per hour - so they seem to have
plenty of tracj capacity on both routes - not sure if this will make a
major difference in new england or not

more changes are likely to occur

this is a joing venture between several railways

at end of video - 151.25 - train going too slow - ( maybe a joke )
