Readville 2016



The usual trip to Marlborough on Dec. 3rd for the annual HUB train show naturally led to the usual trip to Readville.  And, as usual, we saw a few trains of the MBTA and Amtrak variety.  However, this time we got to see the remnants of the very recent bridge replacement over the NEC.  The old pin-truss bridge was sitting on a gravel pad over the Dedham branch and the new bridge was easily seen from the platforms.  The sun was good for this sort of recon but the cold wind soon took away our will to hang around for much longer.

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.
