Album Info:I went to the local railroad yard at about 7:30 this morning and didn't have to wait very long before NECR 3840 arrived leading a northbound freight train with NECR 3857 & 3853. The 3840 was left on the house track for the southbound NECR train to use. 3853 & 3857 were turned on the wye, then reconnected to the train and worked switching the yard at Brattleboro, VT
