Harley Rhode's Transports near on perfect SAR. I was on a mission as I went through Cobram, wasnt stopping for ANYTHING. Then I drove past this and found myself involuntarily doing a U Turn.... December 2020.

I've not done one of these selective color monochrome photos in a while but have always liked them so here is a simple little offering.
Providence and Worcester's Rhode Island based local PR-3 is switching in the compact Valley Falls yard before heading down the main destined for Cranston with one load for Spaulding Brick and a big cut of scrap for the Port of Providence.
The home framing up the scene at left sits on aptly named Railroad Street affording a front tow view of PW 2006, an EMD GP38-2 built new for the then only 7 yr newly independent road in Feb. 1980.

"Point Judith Light is located on the west side of the entrance to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island as well as the north side of the eastern entrance to Block Island Sound. The confluence of two waterways make this area busy with water traffic and the waters around Point Judith are very cold and dangerous. Historically, even with active lighthouses, there have been many shipwrecks off these coasts.
Three light structures have been built on this site. The original 35-foot (11 m) tower, built in 1810, was destroyed by a hurricane in 1815. It was replaced in 1816, by another 35-foot stone tower with a revolving light and ten lamps. The present octagonal granite tower was built in 1856. The upper half of the tower is painted brown and the lower half white to make the light structure a more effective daymark for maritime traffic. In 1871, ship captains asked that Point Judith's fog signal be changed from a horn to whistle. This change distinguished the Point Judith light from the Beavertail Lighthouse, which used a siren to announce fog. A whistle could also be heard more distinctly over the sounds of the surf in the area. Point Judith Light was automated in 1954, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988."
