M426 with CSXT 485 was by Littleton detector around 22:30 last night, no defects 314 axles.
With windows open last night seemed like a lot of x-ing noise, but with wind from NW and being in the range of Wagon Wheel, Gilson, Pleasant St. and Town Farm as Jaymac might say it's never easy to de-cipher .

Interesting... I heard horns in West Boylston ~ 5AM and assumed it was M427. By the loco number it seems it was yesterday's M426. Must have spent the night tied down in Greendale?
