MBTA "freight train": PNLX leasers move CSX boxcar to Boston, MA - 5/2024

In this video we follow a very odd extra that used two MBTA leased PNLX engines to move a former(?) CSX boxcar to the Boston Engine Terminal. The power left the Grafton & Upton Railroad Yard in North Grafton, MA, picked up the boxcar in Framingham, then ran to BET to drop the car off. Extras like these don't happen often and it was even cooler to see a "freight" train east of Framingham as there hasn't been any regular freight service on this track in years, never mind in daylight! We see the train in Grafton, Framingham, Auburndale, and Cambridge before we packed up for the day.
