Bad Day On The Central New England

[eightyeightfan1]

Central New England container train, CE-2, had three deep wells with loads hit the ground at Hard Cider Cut (This really happened tonight running trains. FYI: Hard Cider Cut was a real location on the real Central New England.Story goes that a local farmer would leave jugs of hard cider for train crews at a cut near his farm. In exchange, crews would "accidently" lose rolls of barbed wire, lumber, and sometimes coal at the same spot. Sometimes crews would also find fresh baked pies, with the jugs of cider.)
I was able to get a few shots of the wreck from different angles.
   
   
   
I hung around long enough to watch CNE's GP-9 bring up its full restored "Big Hook" in Santa Fe paint.
