<p>The Boston and Albany (Selkirk, NY -> Boston, MA via Springfield, Palmer and Worcester). At one time it was Double tracked all the way. Now it is single track with some long passing sidings (double track in areas). Use Google.</p> <p><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5078235,-73.772331,572m/data=!3m1!1e3">https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5078235,-73.772331,572m/data=!3m1!1e3</a></p> <p> Heading east after the RR crosses over NY 9J (which parallels another double track section of NYC) it goes to single track and splits. The track that curves off to the south heads toward the Water Level Route to NYC (tracks below bridge on east side of Hudson). The track that heads straight is single track to Boston (which goes to double track and back several times).</p> <p>And if you go to Palmer, MA, visit the Steaming Tender restraunt. Excellent railfanning. </p>
