Old School At Nevins Yard
Another 'Monochrome Monday' offering, old school EMD edition.
After making its regular overnight turn trip to Attleboro, CSXT Framingham based local L005 is back home. After yarding as much of their train as they could in Nevins Yard (ex Boston and Albany) the yard master instructed them to shove the balance into the ex New Haven North Yard side. Here the brace of three EMD SD40-2s shove back through Track 1, the last remaining clear track, toward CP22 and the east leg of the wye connecting to North Yard as they parallel the Keolis/MBTA Worcester mainline.
This motive power set is based here and is captive thanks to the requirement that the locomotives all be equipped with cab signals and ACSES for operation over MBTA property. SD40-2 CSXT 8840 on the point is very much on home rails here having been blt. Oct. 1978 as Conrail 6465.
