P&W's nocturnal train NR-2 from Plainfield, CT to New Haven, CT always came with a sure bet, you'd work 12 hours and most of the time outlaw. And by the way, don't call us if you have trouble. Hence was the case one night with Nick Palazini and another night that we were behind the 8 ball before we even turned a wheel. We managed to get our train together after only 3 hours and then with a 28 mile run of mostly 10 mph, things were not going well. The only bright spot was knowing that having a certain Amtrak dispatcher at the wheel, we'd have time for a quick photo. Our train is shown along the banks of the Thames River in Ledyard, CT with the Mohegan Sun Casino in the distance. P&W train NR-2 has GE's 3907-4001-4002-4004 with 69 cars in tow. It was a horrible consist, with all that power, I think only 2 units were operating. The local neighbors weren't all too happy about the flashes, and didn't believe we were the crew. After some convinicing they decided not to call the local authorities Once underway again, it was off to New Haven and an eventual outlaw in Groton. Just another night on NR-2. Taken on December 4, 2014.
