Dock Creek Delight
The Cape Cod Central / Mass Coastal Railroad welcomed a big crowd to their second annual Railfans Day on Saturday August 17, 2024. The big draw for photographers this year was the operation of their two serviceable (they also own a third) classic original New Haven FL9s coupled back to back just as they would have operated leading the Neptune or Day Cape Codder up from New York City back in the early 1960s.
The railfan festival has wrapped up in Hyannis and this is the third train of the day headed north to Bourne to drop of visitors, and then it will return later empty under the cover of darkness. The northbound train is seeng crossing the marsh around Dock Creek south of the station at about MP 62.4 on the MassDOT owned and Mass Coastal operated former New Haven Railroad Cape Mainline. Bringing up the rear of the train are the stars of the day, New Haven 2011 and 2026 (blt. Sep. 1960 and Sep. 1957 as NH 2038 and 2007 respectively).
