South Shore Freight symbol AF4 is just beginning their trip to the BRC Commercial Ave Yard where they will swap cars with the Belt Railway of Chicago. The train is entering the double track CTC protected mains here at CP46.5 after picking up their cars at nearby Bailly Yard. Much of the traffic is finished steel products from the Cleveland-Cliffs mill at Burns Harbor.

CSXT I020 (Bedford Park, IL to Worcester intermodal) has arrived at its destination at CP46 on modern day CSXT's Boston Sub, the old Boston and Albany Railroad mainline. The crew is shoving off a portion of their train down the ramp to the Providence and Worcester Railroad located in the former New Haven yard for delivery to the small Intransit Container bonded intermodal terminal in South Worcester.
The power is passing over Franklin Street in this view looking down from the Union Station parking garage, and seen standing above the head car is the former New Haven tower SSM334 dating from the 1911 grade separation project and track configuration when Union Station was built. To the left on Temple Street is St. John's Catholic Church, established in 1834, it is the oldest established Catholic religious institution in the city, and the oldest Catholic parish in New England outside of Boston. This 1845 brick church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Belgian Air Force Fairchild C-119G Flying Boxcar CP-46 code OT-CEH, formerly 53-8151, at the Brussels Air Museum on 11 March 2025.
The C-119 followed on from the C-82 Packet built by Fairchild between 1945 and 1948. The C-119 made its first flight in 1947 and by 1955, when production ended, 1,184 had been built. The USAF used the C-119 as a transport and as a gunship during the Korean and Vietnam wars.
The first batch of 18 C-119Fs (serials CP-1 to CP-18) for the Belgium Air Force were delivered between 1952 and 1956. A second batch of 38 C-119Gs (serials CP-9 to CP-46) were delivered from 1953 to 1958. The Flying Boxcar continued in service with the Belgium Air Force until their eventual retirement in 1972.
The example on display (CP-46 'OT-CEH') was built by Kaiser, a Fairchild subcontractor, and was the last Belgian aircraft to be delivered. It ended its service with 20 Squadron of the 15th Wing at Brussels-Melsbroek. Many of the remaining fleet weren't quite so lucky and were scrapped at Koksijde during 1973.
CSX train M427 is slowing rolling south to head for a crew change on the Providence & Worcester Worcester branch to a crew change at CP46 along the old Boston & Albany on Monday, June 20, 2022. In tow are the two Pan Am F9's that were part of the acquisition/merger and are heading for Waycross Georgia, with a fate uncertain.
It was a beautiful day for a nice send off of the ol' gals.
Some interesting urban artwork adorns the wall beneath Walpole Street in this view looking west off the Gates St. bridge down on to CSXT's Boston Sub just above CP46. This is the former Conrail, PC, NYC, nee Boston and Albany mainline that still sees eight CSXT road trains daily. Here is presumably yard job Y101 peeling off a brace of big GEs that had come west from Framingham on local B722. A couple of units and the train were left to be built into a westbound later, and they are seen here coming off the storage track so they can reverse east on Main 2 and pass back beneath me and head to the yard.

Big changes were taking place at the CSX New Castle Yard in the Spring of 1994. CSX abandoned the ex P&LE main West of this point at CP46, and would cut their number two main over to the P&LE main, making it the new number 2 main. The old P&LE main has been swung over to the CSX main as seen in this view from the old P&LE station, as train R138 arrives for a crew change.
I actually didn't plan to take a monochrome shot here and honestly I never shoot in black and white. Any recent monochrome shots are converted in post processing because I feel the scene just lends itself better to that look. But in this case I actually shot this image this way...totally by accident! I honestly still don't know what sequence I touched to change my camera's settings on the fly between shots but somehow I did...and I don't hate this.
Anyway, after bringing local B722 west from Framingham and leaving it in the storage track to become Q427 for Selkirk later that night the power cut off at CP46 and is returning to the yard. The brace of four big GEs (an ES40DC, an ES44AH, and two AC4400s) is seen here crossing over at CP45 to enter the west end of the yard. Looking on behind the units is long closed New Haven tower SSM334 dating from the 1911 grade separation project and track configuration when the Boston and Albany built Union Station and reconfigured the trackage in the area in conjunction with tenants New Haven and Boston and Maine. That arrived from the south and north respectively.

I've actually wanted to try a shot here for a long time but usually the closer of the three tracks is blocked by a parked train. But for a change all three tracks here between CP45 and CP46 were momentarily clear. Alas I got doubled f---ed by both clouds and vehicles blocking the arch as the head end passed. No big loss really as it's a bit cluttered and the street light at right prevents an unobstructed view of even one unit. But still it's fun to try something new in a town you've been photographing in for more than a quarter century.
Anyway, this is CSXT train B722 from Framingham pulling into the storage track to drop their train and run their four units back to the yard. But MBTA F40PH-2Cs 1056 and 1053 here will stay as they are dead and drained and on their way west for overhaul in Erie. They will depart later this evening on train Q427 for Selkirk.
They are passing over Gardner Street on one of the many concrete arches built when the New York Central modernized and grade separated the Boston and Albany through the city around 1911 in conjunction with the Union Station project. Today this line is CSXT's Boston Subdivision and this is about MP 45.6.

c/n 11254.
Belgian Air Force serial CP46.

Preserved at the Musée Royal de l'Armée, Brussels. This C-119 flew with the USAF in the 1950s as 53-8151 and was based at Dreux-Senoches in France with the 12th Troop Carrier Squadron. At that time it bore the name "The Great Pretender". Its former USAF radio operator, the late Chuck Lunsford, provided me with this information. He wrote an excellent memoir, "Departure Message", about his experiences on the C-119.
