On a rainy December afternoon, Kris and I met my old friend Dan and his wife Mary at Palmer’s Steaming Tender for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were seated by a window facing the Boston & Albany\u2014today’s CSX’s Boston Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rails were alive and freight trains were on the roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some time after a very long westward manifest freight cleared the diamond (where CSX crossed New England Central at grade), a local freight arrived to work the yard with a set of three GP40-2s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than 25 years these vintage EMD’s have be stalwarts on the Palmer local. I complimented the crew on their ‘antiques’, but they seemed unimpressed with the old diesels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these images from our seat as the engines arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
