Wrapping Up
As told here: flic.kr/p/2pn2AuY the Bay Colony Railroad has lowered its flag after 41 1/2 years.
After run to the Mass Coastal interchange in New Bedford to drop off three loads they are now headed back west to deliver three empty gons to Mid City Scrap before returning to Old Reed Road and shutting down....maybe for good. They are seen here rocking along at about MP 2.7 approaching the Faunce Corner Rd. crossing.
GP9 1706 which was blt. Nov. 1954 as Florida East Coast 658 is leading followed by GP9 1705 which was originally built in Apr. 1956 as Great Northern 704. Both units (plus 1701 in Millis) were included in the a to MC and it is uncertain what their future will hold.
