Here's a close up detail of the cool decal on the flank of this modern machine here on MofW Monday.
I almost never shoot Maintenance-of-Way equipment but this caught my eye and I figured some of you might find it of interest so I grabbed a couple images. This regulator was built by CSXT at the Bryan Park roadway equipment shop in Richmond, VA in a facility that was once the RF&P railroad's main locomotive shop. This regulator is configured for snow fighting duty with a wedge plow nose, spreader wings, and a snowblower on the rear. It is equipment like this that has led to the mass disappearance of traditional locomotive pushed equipment like Jordan Spreaders, wedge plows, and rotaries except for the biggest jobs and heaviest snow accumulations.
It is seen here beside about MP 148.2 on modern day CSXT's Berkshire Sub mainline, the former Boston and Albany Railroad parked on the lead teack to the old East Yard which has been completely removed except for this one MofW spur.
