22K in Ayer
22K in Ayer

22K rolls through Ayer with SD60E #6983e, ES44AC #8070, and 9-44CW #9567w. There were crossing gate troubles so crews had to flag crossings ahead of the train. It was moving at 5 mph from Shirley through Ayer, where it was canned by the tower. It got recrewed and backed in its cars later.
