Bruce,
You have posted a very interesting group of photos about this heavy transformer. As I looked at the photos, I did notice what appears in the background to be a GE U18 engine that seems to be painted in a paint scheme used by the Providence and Worcester Railroad. If it is, I have spent many hours in that engine back in the 1977/80 timeline. I was a taking a lot of pictures of the P&W at that time and copies of those photos given to the crews was a juster that gave me an invite to ride as the engine did switching duty in the yard in Worcester,Ma.almost every Sunday afternoon. I also made several trips down to Providence. A fun time back when the railroads were a lot more friendly as to who was on the property
