On February 10th the Providence & Worcester Railroad ran something rather unique through Connecticut and Massachusetts – a snow plow. \u00a0The P&W leased a Russel plow from the Green Mountain Railroad in Vermont to clear some of the snowfall that had plagued southern New England this winter. \u00a0And I used a vacation day from work to chase the train along two of the P&W’s lines, covering about 60 miles of the railroad.<\/p>\n
The crew of P&W train NR-2, instead of doing their usual work along Connecticut’s shore between Groton and New Haven, had the honor of running the (to my knowledge) only plow over the P&W in its history. \u00a0On this day the plow would cover the Willimantic and Norwich Branches, starting in Willimantic, CT and ending in Worcester, MA. I managed to photograph them \u00a0in a number of towns through eastern Connecticut and southern Massachusetts, and met up with a few fellow photographers along the way (Tom, Steve & Rich). \u00a0It was a nice sunny day, which made some of the northbound shots between Plainfield, CT and Worcester a bit challenging, but it ended up being a great day overall. \u00a0OK, enough of that, here’s the snow throwing adventures!<\/p>\n[cpg_album:836]\n
Thanks for looking!
