B733 Working Bluelinx
After shooting BO-1 in Everett I headed home the long way via the Mass Pike and 495 to swing by Bellingham to catch the weekly trek of B733 from Walpole out on the Milford Secondary. A friend had said the loco would be facing north or east, making for two great morning light shots. But alas when I got there I found that they had wyed their lone GP40-2 at some point. But since I was here anyway and the light was perfect and CSXT's presence here is on borrowed time with the Grafton and Upton having received approval to operate this line and serve the customers from their recently reestablished connection in Milford I figured it was worth shooting them long hood forward at least in the warehouse.
So here they are seen looking through the building at Bluelinx after they had run in light engine to clear the switches before making their moves to spot and pull the boxcars and flats of lumber. This customer is presently one of the last two actives one on the Milford branch, though the tracks are in service, maintained, and patrolled weekly by Keolis for their owner the MBTA the remaining 4 1/2 miles to Milford.
