Viewing Album:  Pioneer Valley rare mileage excursion
 
By:Bob Krug
Dates:4/13/2019 - 4/13/2019
Album Info:I rode and chased a rare mileage excursion sponsored by the Massachusetts Bay Rail Road Enthusiasts over the Pioneer Valley Railroad, a short line connecting to CSX' Boston Line in Westfield, MA and Pan Am's Connecticut River Main in Holyoke, MA. In Holyoke the railroad does some street running on Water Street, which was an added attraction. As is customary with MBRRE excursions, this one was very well executed, and a lot of fun.
