Global Warming in Little Stockholm

P&W train WOGR is running light with trips on the Providence main through South Worcester MA to Greenwood Yard, where they'll retrieve empty autoracks for the trip up to the Pan Am interchange in Gardner on sixty degree February day. This is a beehive of active customers for the railroad; the left track is for Intransit Container, while behind me is Mid-State Packaging and Cargill. The spur leading right is for former customer Aggregate Industries.

Back in the days of industrial Worcester, this was a predominantly Swedish neighborhood. There are still reminders scattered about, such as the Gift Chalet (up the road a bit and out of view) and St. Catherine's of Sweden Catholic church.
