It was nice to see the Amtrak Inland Route trains again.P-945 / 942 / 944. Amtrak Trains
P-448 & P-449 "THE LAKE SHORE LIMITED" Was Bused again both ways to and from Albany on the CSX Boston & Berkshire Subs.True to form the Coach for P-448 was 22 minutes LATE!
There was switch problems at CP-33 in Westboro tonight a maintainer was called.This is why MBTA Trains P-533 & P-535 were so late getting into Worcester Union Station.Also to note now that CSX has rebuilt the Station track the passenger trains come screaming into and out of Union Station.
No More 10 MPH Slow Orders.SO HEADS UP!!! The Providence & Worcester's Gardner Branch is out of service as it's being under cut in a few spots for Double Stack Clearance to and from PanAm
Southern's "Gardner Yard".

Now that summer is here I'll have to find a pile of money for gas to get down to Worcester again. A HAPT brother or two will have to go along to split the bill. A fun time is guaranteed though if we avoid one of those maintenance blocks.

Stay tuned for Skull's "Excellent Maine Adventures"!

Welcome to HAPT's Railfan Adventures


The Hebron Any Power Team is actually just a bunch of fun-loving rail enthusiasts who enjoy photographing and chasing all things railroad with friends. This bunch of guys cover a lot of ground for a group based way up "nawth" in Maine. We also have friends scattered around the country who contribute well to our hobby. In fact, our name is derived from our actual friends in the Worcester Foreign Power Team, except that Hebron hasn't seen a train since the 1950's so we'll settle for "any power".

Welcome and enjoy the eclectic collections of the contributors. Maine idealizes "life in the slow lane" so we present this blog as an effort to share our less time sensitive findings and to add to our hobby.
