5 Trains/Trainsets Just North of North Station

This photo, taken looking north from North Bank bikepath bridge at about 4:16 p.m. shows 5 trains or trainsets either in motion or waiting for a chance to be in motion. From the left, Train 420 arrives from Wachusett and prepares to pass 2 empty trainsets headed to North Station from the storage yards. To the right closer to the camera train 115 heads for Rockport while beyond it train 322 heads for Lowell. The only downside of this view: all locomotives are on the outbound end of these trains.

Very interesting photo! Dwarf signals have "plow poles" so they can be located and dug out (trenched out actually so they can be seen from several feet away!) after a two foot snowfall? Wonder why these signals aren't a little taller like 5 feet?
