TALES OF THE DOCKSIDER
The military vehicle consist has been added to the daily “Ayer job” in the B&M yard for the move to Ft Devens. B&M RS3 no. 1509 has coupled on to the freight while shop switcherX-8688 awaits clearance to return to the B&A roundhouse.
Later in the afternoon, B&M 1509 passes by some troops training at Ft Devens. The RS3’s engineer always blows a couple of quick blasts of the horn to show his appreciation for their service.
