The Providence & Worcester Railroad recently acquired three former Burlington Northern Santa Fe GE B40-8W locomotives. \u00a0One of those – now numbered P&W 4005 – has recently\u00a0received\u00a0a new paint job, putting the former warbonnet into P&W chocolate and orange. \u00a0And after one other trip down this way, I got a chance to photograph the widecab while on the point of train NR-2.<\/p>\n
On September 19th, I had a little time to head out and see if I could catch P&W train NR-2 coming south. \u00a0And that turned out to be a good thing – when I was heading out, I got word from another railfan that NR-2 had the 4005 at the head end!<\/p>\n
Not long after that, I heard NR-2 hit the detector at Jewett City – which made my decision on where to start from – Stoddard Hill. \u00a0From there I bagged them at Mill Cove, the USS Nautilus and the bottom of Fairview yard. \u00a0I was hoping to get over to New London to get them crossing Shaw’s Cove, but I had a meeting to get to, so I broke it off at Fairview.<\/p>\n
But on the way back, I took a couple shots of some ships at the State Pier – a NOAA ship, the Thomas Jefferson, and a bulk freighter the Maple Mighty, who was unloading what looked to be coils of steel.<\/p>\n
Not too bad overall. \u00a0So here’s the pix:<\/p>\n[cpg_album:889]\n
Thanks for looking!
