P&W PR-3 Central Falls, RI
The winter of 1974 was an exciting time on the newly formed Providence & Worcester Railroad. The P&W began operations with leased D&H RS-3's, until the biggest surprise came from MLW in Montreal. The P&W acquired new M-420's 2001-2002 in a flashy new scheme dubbed "Parallelogram". Just over a few weeks old, P&W train PR-3 with spotless M420 2001 heads west along Amtrak's mainline at Central Falls, RI at Boston Switch headed to the downtown Providence area for a day of switching along the produce market at Atwells and in the Harbor area. Good times back then, a new growing and prosperous railroad with a bright future. If the train and new power doesn't excite you, just check out the classic vehicles!
