Maiden Voyage
A washout in Somersworth on Tuesday morning suspended operations on the south end of the New Hampshire Northcoast for the week. Two units (NHN 3825, FURX 5509) were trapped south of the washout with a train of empties. Another set of sand cars was trapped in Boston for the week. The railroad ended up running a couple short shuttle trains to Rochester with all the cars remaining on the north side of the washout. They spent Wednesday working the bugs out of the NHN 3823, recently returned from a rebuild/repaint at NRE. On Thursday the 3823 made its' debut along with the GP18 and a short train of recently repainted sand cars. The mid day departure from the pit in Ossipee gave a chance to put the high sun to use to get this shot from a private farm overpass in East Wakefield that is always shaded.
