F-unit Friday...sort of.
I guess it can be categorized a honorary F- unit, the elusive CSX geometry train finally founds its way into my viewfinder last November after many years. Starting life in 1967 as Conrail GP40 3051, this engine has certainly polished the rails of the B&A over the years. Most of the time when this train operates on the old B&A, it will either be a late afternoon run from Selkirk and then usually under the cover of darkness in the Worcester area. Thanks to some little birdies I was able to catch it shown here in Palmer, MA, just east of the diamond with the NECR headed east for Worcester, MA . Train WO-52 with a spotless 9969 and 2 coaches made a non stop run over the Boston Line under bright skies on this November 9, 2019.
