Hi I have a railfan question. I am staying in south deerfeld MA and was not sure if anyone knew where I could find any trains I could film or if there are any close by sorry this is not a "trainz" related subject but anyways please if you know respond ive looked all over youtube and all I get for searching "railfaning in south deerfeld MA is" "railfaning in southern FL".

The local railtrack runs through the town parallel with highway 91, there's another track not far away over by 'Long Plain Road'. (see map in link)

Do you mean that you can actually look up stuff on the internet using "Google".. Well I'll be darned. You learn something everyday.

Hi Kenny,

If you have access to a ride, you can visit the East Deerfield yard.

You can't get in there directly but there's a 'railfan' bridge that crosses the throat of the yard.

Look for directions to McClelland Farm Road.

If you mean you're going to Northampton, which is a bit south of Deerfield, then you can see the Amtrak Vermonter go through Amherst. It's on the other side of 91, but right along Route 9. UMass Amherst has a station from which you can film.
