Just another in this continuing series from a couple months back.
The Quonset Development / Seaview Transportation celebration and ribbon cutting also included a train ride to take the politicians and invited guests from the new engine house down to the new Mill Creek Yard and wye. With no passenger equipment of its own at the Seaview arrangements were made with the MBTA to borrow a train for half a day. They graciously provided a five car set that included three brand new Rotem bilevels led by HSP46 2033. The equipment was spotted into the new Seaview enginehouse and SVTX 1855 was coupled to control car 1861. After the ceremony and speeches at the new shop were done the dignitaries loaded on board for a trip down the Quonset Main a couple miles as far as the Electric Boat facility. There they reversed direction and retraced their route back to Mill Creek Yard where they ran around the new wye connector and had a second ribbon cutting. With that donen they pulled out on the Davisville main and swapped ends again before returning to the new enginehouse so all the politicians, guests, and newspersons could head out to their next engagements.
Since the train was completely turned during the short trip, after everyone deboarded back at the shop the train headed back down to take a spin on the new wye one more time before heading back to the yard to drop the 1855 and then leave Davisville for the trip back to Readville. This view looks west off the Romano Vineyard Way overpass at about MP 2.0 on the Davisville Branch as the odd little passenger consist parallels Davisville Road.
SVTX GP10 1855 was built as a GP9 in Aug. 1956 for the Baltimore and Ohio as their #6467. Later rebuilt by ICG's Paducah Shop she bounced around on different shortlines until coming to Rhode Island in 2006 where she was given this snappy paint job.
