Gee, I can't remember when was the last time I came to Chester on Track, a local event in this quaint little town in the Berkshires in Massachusetts. Anyway, taking advantage of some beautiful weather one Saturday in mid-May and with nothing else planned, I stopped by to meet up with a few railfan buddies as well as checking out the local parade (no videos on it) as well as for the first time, walked around the site of the old Chester Granite & Polishing Works in town. Train action was pretty decent, a few during the day and the afternoon. One of CSX's heritage units, the Chessie System 1973, made an appearance. Overall it was a very enjoyable day!
