Flying Thru The Marsh
The Cape Cod Central / Mass Coastal Railroad hosted their third annual Railfans Day this year, offering the rare opportunity to photograph their two serviceable (they also own a third) classic original New Haven FL9s coupled back to back just as they would have when new leading the Neptune or Day Cape Codder up from New York City back in the early 1960s.
New Haven 2011 and 2026 (blt. Sep. 1960 ans Sep. 1957 as NH 2038 and 2007 respectively) are leading the second of three trips from Bourne south to the festivities in Hyannis yard after atopping to pick up more visitors at Sanwich and West Barnstable along the way. The train is hustling past the osprey nest and over Bridge Creek through the tidal marsh at MP 70 on the MassDOT owned and Mass Coastal operated former New Haven Railroad Cape Mainline.
