\"\"Back on the 3rd and 5th of August, 80 cars of loaded ethanol made their way over the New England Central and Providence & Worcester Railroads, and were delivered to their destination in Providence, Rhode Island. \u00a0Well, on both days I managed to get shots of the two moonshine moves from the same spot. \u00a0One was at night, and the second was in hazy summertime daylight. \u00a0The symbol used for these moves on the Providence & Worcester is K666 – borrowed from the actual CP symbol of 666 before it’s delivered to VTR in Whitehall, NY, and CSX’s K prefix for unit commodity trains.<\/p>\n

The first cut of 40 cars made their way down the New England Central in the late evening, then were handed off to the P&W at New London. \u00a0After Jill & I put the kids to bed, I headed out to try and catch the train heading north along the Thames River. \u00a0I ended up near MP7 in Ledyard, where I set up on the river side of the tracks, and got a shot (after quite long wait and quite a few mosquito bites) as the train headed out of the darkness, and into range of the Lumedyne. \u00a0With the speed of the train, and the late time, I decided this was the only shot of the evening, and headed home.<\/p>\n

A couple days later the second cut of 40 cars made their way south on the NECR. \u00a0This time, things were delayed a bit, and the move was to take place around lunchtime. \u00a0So I decided to get a shot at the same spot I did the night shot – right near MP7. \u00a0Of course, the advantage to shooting in the daylight was I wasn’t limited to one shot from that spot. \u00a0So I got shots as they progressed north along the Thames into Preston.<\/p>\n[cpg_album:753]\n

Thanks for looking!
