West Concord, Mass. - Penn Central switch engines rumble across the diamond crossing of the Boston and Maine Fitchburg Division Main Line. The train is headed to Lowell, MA. Date not recorded but this is from the 1970's.

Thursday another three switches were unloaded at the Autoport site. The crew was earning their pay this day, it was hot! Unlike with the previous switch these were moved across the road onto the property for the new facility. Visible in the upper right are the 22 lengths of ribbon rail dropped last month. After being cleared out previously the junk at the junk yard is once again encroaching upon the ROW. I'm sure once the dirt starts flying for the Autopark lead it will retreat again. July 2, 2020.
Shortly after departing the shops of the Midwest Central Railroad, Surry, Sussex & Southampton #6 runs light toward the switches that will take her to the train shed in the background on the left, where she will pick up her excursion train for the day. On a typical day during the Old Thresher's Reunion event, the Midwest Central will run a pair of trains, which will depart the north and south station complexes simultaneously, so as to always be separated by half of the 1.25 mile loop. Since the #6 is the only operable steam power at present, the other train will be pulled by one of the line's Plymouth diesels. In years past, when two steamers were operational, both trains would be steam-powered.
