28N At Wagon Wheel
Here is a shot from not all that long ago when there was still a dedicated daily auto rack train, and power of any variety could show up on the NS run through trains. Alas, these days thanks to the cutover of ACSES on the MBTA northside routes every NS train now has an SD60E leader.
Here is Pan Am Southern train 28N (Fostoria, OH to Ayer) unit auto rack train arriving at its destination behind CEFX 6030, a CN SD75 and an unidentified NS EMD. They are on Main 2 pulling up to the Wagon Wheel Rd. crossing at MP 312.5 on District 3 of Pan Am's Freight Main, the former Boston and Maine Stony Brook Branch.
The triclops EMD SD60M leading, a member of the CIT Rail lease fleet, was built by EMD in Mar. 1990 and still wears its original Burlington Northern Cascade green and white. CIT leasing is a subsidiary of New York based CIT Group, that traces its history back to 1907 and was originally known as Commercial Investment Trust.
