Se trata de un lugar archiconocido en un bosque que lleva el camino de convertirse en otro Otxarreta. A mi personalmente me parece bien, que la gente disfrute de lugares tan espectaculares especialmente cuando acompaña la niebla. Asà que a disfrutarlo amigos,que para eso está ahÃ. Espero que os guste.

CSXT train R004-13 is seen emerging from the 1400 ft long tunnel and approaching the School Street crossing at MP 0.6 on Providence and Worcester's Gardner branch as they head to Union Station and CP45 where they will get on home rails of CSXT's Boston Sub. This train consists of 100 empty system steel hoppers headed back to the Pennsylvania coal fields from Granite Shore Power's Merrimack Station in Bow, New Hampshire on CSXT/Pan Am's Northern Mainline.
Historically the plant, which was built by Public Service Company of New Hampshire in 1960 (unit 1) and 1968 (unit 2) was one of the Boston and Maine Railroad's most important customers. For decades an average of one 100 car train per week served the plant, and in 2008 (the most recent I could find online) over 534,000 tons were delivered. But in 2015 the plant transitioned from a base load station pumping out 482-megawatts from its two units to a peaker plant operating only during periods of extreme intermittent demand when generation is needed quickly to maintain electrical system stability on the grid. Today it remains, quite controversially, as the last coal fired plant in all of New England, and unit coal trains are few and far between these days. In fact this was the first one since the summer of 2020 (though a handful did run to Selkirk last winter and get cut up and sent in blocks on regularly scheduled manifest trains) so it rightfully drew lots of attention from local fans which was great to see.
I missed the loads going north last weekend but with perfect timing I decided to forgo a little sleep and try for the returning empties. This was even more of a treat since CSXT assigned the power off of M427 which was an old school classic quartet of two SD40-2s and two YN2 painted AC4400CWs. CSXT 8822 will be right at home when she swings west onto the old Boston and Albany at CP45 in less than a mile as she was blt. Sep. 1977 as Conrail 6413.
Historically this line belonged to the Boston and Maine Railroad, but the just under 3.5 miles of former mainline from the division post in downtown Worcester to Barbers junction along with the entirety of the Gardner branch were sold by the trustees of that bankrupt road to the newly independent P&W in 1974. As for this tunnel, it dates from 1956 when it was built to remove the railroad from the middle of busy Lincoln Square.

The Springtime Sun is sinking low the hazy evening of May 16th, 2019 at Wolsey, South Dakota where older EMD power of the Rapid City Pierre & Eastern, – A leaning vintage railroad semaphore signal, - And a silver small town water tower all come together for a display of three different classics all in one shot. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac GP40 146 led a pair of CSX C40-8s on train R406 underneath the signal bridge at Ridgely Street in the Baltimore Terminal in 1991.
CSX would soon take over plucky regional and the RF&P would be no more than a Subdivision in the vast CSX network.
For last week's 'words' theme for the Smile on Saturday group, I started looking back through my murals folder and found some cool street art that I'd never posted. While I didn't end up using the murals for SoS, some are really great. Here's one today from our time in Connecticut.
When we moved to the area, New London was having a hard time. Many of its main street buildings were vacant and boarded up. There were only a couple of murals back then, but over time more were done. One of the largest and most impressive was the above Hollywood mural on Bank Street. I'm not sure when it was painted, and couldn't find a signature at the time, so I'm sorry I can't identify the artist. I haven't been back to New London for several years, but I see from online searching that NL now has a mapped mural walk. "Hollywood" isn't listed on the map, and from what I can tell searching images, the mural's been painted over - the building may now be a restaurant? My previous three posts show closer views of the panels if you're interested.
Found three oldies stashed away in my basement - full disclosure, there are many more down there...

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
CTA's restored 6101-6102 on a charter, pose on the Douglas Branch as BN E9 9908 heads westbound in 1991.
IRM's former Burlington Northern E9 9908 was undergoing restoration after arriving as MARC 92 in 2014.
Scuttlebutt has this motor slated to be restored to its original paint. CB&Q silver will once again adorn this covered wagon.
Assisting the 9908 was rolling rustbucket Milwaukee Road E9 37A which will also be restored eventually to its as-built appearance.
Thanks to the Fansproject Crossfire 02 sets, the Combaticons get some updated members as well as a slew of armaments.
Classic looking Swindle and Blast Off take the place of the original cloned molds with more show accurate designs.
The number of new weapons on Onslaught borders on rediculous with all of the stuff he can now carry.
L-R: Blast Off (Explorer), Swindle (Munitioner), Onslaught, Brawl, and Vortex.
FEC SD40-2 713 and GP40-2 427 team up to haul northbound Fort Pierce, Florida, to Jacksonville, Florida, train 204 north across the Saint Augustine, Florida, marshlands. The 103 and 204 trains are the now rare Electro Motive Diesel exception to the rule in the railroad's sea of General Electric power. Scenes like this are now hard to come by on the FEC, and I was certainly glad to shoot this consist leading nearly 5 years after my last attempt at decent power on the Florida East Coast.
Thanks for looking!
