Interesting! I guess it's a good thing the P&W keeps their little shop switcher loco around there at Worcester...

I'm wondering, isn't this usually handled by NS engines? Why the P&W?As mentioned, you will see that on import coal coming from the P&W. All P&W coal trains for Bow used to come through interchange at Gardner and then were hauled to Bow with PAR power, but the two railroads reached a deal to allow the P&W run through power to be used and the train is now interchanged at Worcester and routed via the Worcester main line to Ayer and then on to the FML. PAR being always power short and in turn causing delays made this deal come to life.
Don't get me wrong.....It's nice to see the P&W in Southern New Hampshire. It's just not something you see every day.
