A Little Worcester Action - Part 2
A friend was up visiting from New Jersey and wanted to take in a bit of the New England rail scene. His main goal was to shoot some Providence and Worcester trains led by locomotives still wearing the independent pre GW orange and brown paint.
Train NRWO arrived from Plainfield with a pair of B39-8s one each in orange and original. While waiting to see whether they would eye the power or not (in order to keep the desired leader) we picked up some other nearby action.
Hearing P&W WX-1 on the radio as well we knew they were close by and a drive down Cambridge Street revealed them working in the yard on the mainline side. In short order the pair of original GP38-2s pulled up with a cut offering a nice view in the warm morning light. While I'm sad these beauties have been banished from work in Rhode Island due to ACSES issues they sure look good here working in the the yard that is the beating heart of the operation.
