 On eastward to Charlemont; its not hard to catch trains with the many speed restrictions on Pan Am.

Deep in the heart of the mountains, the excursion winds along the river towards the Hoosac Tunnel.

After existing the Hoosac Tunnel, the excursion passes North Adams, the pre diesel era base of electric operations.
