Yep, Providence & Worcester train NRWO, who usually runs from Plainfield to Worcester and back weeknight evenings, made their way out the Willimantic Branch this evening to work the interchange with the New England Central. And I just happened to catch them as they were heading out of town.
Had to run an errand this evening in Willimantic, so I had the scanner on during my travels. It remained silent until I finished my errand, and started heading home. It sounded like NRWO was getting ready to tie onto the cars the NECR left for them in Willimantic. So I headed over to Pleasant Street to see if I could catch them heading out.
I got there just as they were pulling the cut of cars out of the yard tracks, and of course lazy me didn’t lug my tripod up to the Frog Bridge, so I had to hand-hold the shots. Well, I didn’t do too bad, and came away with a keeper in the bunch. Here NRWO is pulling the cars out of the yard.

Thanks for looking!
Tom
