Bedford Station

Bedford Station is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Bedford Station is a pre-War train switching station that once serviced the nearby quarry at Thicket Excavations but has since been infested with feral ghouls. Many inoperable train cars are still present around the site.

The station was a location for a synth rescue that went wrong. Dutchman, an agent of the Railroad, created a diversion for an escaping synth when ambushed by several unknown assailants.

Layout
A ruined southbound train stretches out on the north to south running tracks. At the northern end of the train, several ghouls mill about a station. The highest level ghouls generally sit on the platform itself, conveniently near an explosive container. Further south sits a control tower, where Dutchman's body rests near the tracks. There are no signs of the assailants or the synth. The body of Helena, the runner mentioned in the terminal holotape who was supposed to meet with Dutchman, is found leaning against the water tower.

Notable loot

 * Bedford Station recording - Holotape in the terminal in the watchtower referencing A9-51 and Dutchman fleeing from the Institute.
 * Cargo handler's note - On the floor of the platform building near the terminal.
 * Helena's instructions - On the body of Helena, under the water tank.
 * Dutchman's instructions - On Dutchman.
 * A "dead drop" mentioned in the instructions is placed inside the blue train car to the north of the tower, within the blue barrel in the corner marked with a cache railsign.
