Afterwards we drove northward in search of New England Central\u2019s road freight, 611.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New England Central&#8217;s clean locomotives in parent company Genesee &amp; Wyoming&#8217;s orange, yellow and black paint, make for handsome subjects, and a welcome change to the days when patched faded liveries of the locomotive&#8217;s various former owners predominated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anticipating catching 611\u2019s northward run from Palmer, we paused at Three Rivers to check some photo locations and were surprised to hear a southward train approaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lo and behold! It was 611 on its southward run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucky bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After photographing the southward move, we continued our drive north to inspect locations . . . Stay tuned for more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos exposed using my FujiFilm XT1 with 27mm pancake lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\"
