Woonsocket
The Providence and Worcester Railroad continues to (begrudgingly) provide their passenger train and crew for the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council's extremely popular Polar Express trains with trains running and 3:30 and 6:30 PM Fri-Sun for a total of 42 sold out trips in 2024.
A long telephoto view finds Providence and Worcester B40-8 4003 (GE blt. Jun. 1988 as NYSW 4006) paused on the nearly 700 ft long viaduct over the Blackstone River and downtown in this view from the south side right at MP 16. The locomotive is sitting over Clinton Street and the train is tied down for a couple hours beside the 1882 built depot awaiting its 4 PM departure to the North Pole (aka the Buma Funeral Home in Uxbridge!) and return.
