Pan Am Boston based local BO-1 is heading home light engine after run to Peabody to deliver cars to Rousselot which is the very last customer remaining on the north shore and the sole reason this lonely freight train makes its biweekly treks up the old Boston and Maine Eastern Route mainline. This is a sad state of a affairs and a far cry from days of old, but now only crumbling vestiges of trackside industries and legacy names such as Brickyard serve to remind us of once was. But forget all that was lost for a moment and be thankful for this pretty sight we do have as the mysteriously Guilford repainted GP40-2LW 507 rolls south beneath the signal mast here at about MP 10.8 on the Keolis/MBTA mainline.

Providence & Worcester train NR-2 skirts along the Thames River in Ledyard, Connecticut under a crystal clear sky. Composite of two photographs - one longer exposure (40 seconds) for the sky and water, and one flash lit (1/200) for the passing train.
Strobist Info: Three Alien Bee B800 flashes - one off the camera to the right on the opposite side of the tracks at 100% with an 11" long throw reflector. One directly in front of the camera, aimed back at the camera (behind the bush) at 30% with an 11" long throw reflector. And the third parallel with that flash, on the opposite side of the tracks, pointed back at the camera at 100% with an 11" long throw reflector. All triggered with Paul C. Buff CyberSync radio triggers.
For Freight Car Friday here's another piece of display equipment from Minnesota. While not a freight car itself, this relic from a bygone era spent more than three decades trailing seemingly endless strings of ore hoppers up and down the rails of the Iron Range country.
Built in 1952 by International Car this bay window caboose was retired in 1986 and placed on display coupled to massive DMIR 225 in 1994. If you missed the Steam Sunday photo of that mighty Yellowstone resting proudly here in the Missabe's shop town you can find it here: flic.kr/p/2oBSNko
And here is a link to the little Proctor museum that owns and cares for this caboose:

This was the last spot on this impromptu chase of surprise CSXT company train W036 on this fun early autumn day as they approach the Center Bridge Rd. crossing at MP WOR6.8 (the new CSXT milepost) on the former Pan Am Railway nee Boston and Maine Railroad Worcester mainline. At right stands the historic freight house still dressed in tattered peeling standard B&M colors. They are heading down to Clinton to load up the system tie gang which had been working in the area for months in the ongoing effort to rehabilitate CSXT's former Pan Am property. A sharp pair of SD40-2s (8833 blt. Sep. 1978 as CR 6442 and 8365 blt. Apr. 1969 as a straight SD40 CO 7506) were a pleasant surprise and worthy of this mini chase.

For Freight Car Friday here is an overview of one of New England's largest and most famous facilities, Rigby Yard. With no locomotives in sight the eye is draw to the multitude of colorful freight cars still dominated by boxcars as is traditon in the Pine Tree State. Also noteworthy is the cut of spine cars loaded with blue Eimskip containers and used to transport Poland Spring water from Waterville to Ayer, a rare shorthaul intraline move that was one of Pan Am's rare innovative successes in recent years.
The more than 200 acre yard complex was built by the Portland Terminal Company in 1923 on the grounds of the old Rigby Park, a harness tracing track that operated from 1893 to 1899 then sat unused until 1922 when it was sold to the PT which was looking to consolidate multiple smaller and older legacy yards around the Portland area.
New owner CSXT is pouring a lot of money into this yard which was once a massive joint facility serving the PT and its two Class 1 owners the Boston and Maine and the Maine Central Railroads. I'm not sure what the future holds but its nice to see track work, site cleanup, and building repairs after decades of neglect by owner Guilford Transportation (later Pan Am Railways).
This telephoto view was taken from the Pleasant Hill Road overpass technically in the town Scarborough near MP 200 on CSXT's ex Pan Am Freight Main, the north end of the former Boston and Maine Portland Division.
