Having descended the grade from through the Berkshire Hills rising in the background, Amtrak train 449, the Boston Section of the Lakeshore Limited to Chicago, hustles westbound on Main 2 at MP 147 on modern day CSXT's Berkshire Subdivision, the one time Boston and Albany Railroad mainline, in this view from the Woodlawn Avenue overpass. Holding on Main 1 is CSXT Selkirk to West Springfield train M424 which is setting off interchange traffic for the Housatonic Railroad and then will wait to swap crews with westbound counterpart M425.
Looming beyond is the the last remaining building from the once massive former GE plastics plant. General Electric was once the dominant industry in town dating all the way back to 1903 when when it purchased the Stanley Electric Manufacturing Co., which had been established in Pittsfield in 1890. In addition to its plastics division, GE manufactured transformers in town and operated an aerospace division. At its peak during the 1940s, the GE plant employed 13,000 people - in a city of just about 50,000!
The transformer division shut down by 1987 and took 2000 jobs with it, followed by the sale of aerospace to Lockheed Martin leaving only about 500 employees working for the plastics division. That last operation was closed and the remains sold off in 2005 and since that time many of the buildings on the 324 acre site have been removed, and for the past two decades GE has been working to clean and remediate the area from decades of PCB contamination. In fact I thought this scene looked different from the last time I photographed off this bridge and turns out I was right: flic.kr/p/2nqsYeE
In addition to being a major employer it was once a huge rail customer though today what little trackage remains on the property is rusty and unused and there is so little rail served industry left that CSXT has long since abolished their last local freight crew in town.

As we sailed from Bainbridge back to Seattle these two ships passed us off our bow, a cruise ship and a research vessel.
After a meet at CPF-242 with Amtrak 683, POED with MEC 7552 - MEC 7542 rolls west through the busy little city of Dover NH. It sure was nice to get a PAR painted leader in District 2 again and the only painted C40-8 so far at that.

Apart from a few minutes of light rain, we had a dry walk on North Hill, despite heavy cloud passing on either side.
Bossington Beach and Porlock Weir were certainly catching it!

This was the final shot that my camera batteries allowed...fortuitously coinciding with sundown. (I have quite a few variations of this which are on my photostream.)
