APH and Toddsyr: thank you both for the information. I was not having any luck finding a roster for a build date, and not knowing what the road number range was, I wasn't sure if it was a Baldwin product or one of Pennsy's own. I suspected that it had been upgraded to I1sa but wasn't going to assume...

I was just presented a nice, mounted color photo of locomotive 4233. Judging from the auto's in the background, looks like early, or mid '50s. I'm not having much luck with rosters. Would anyone here know the build date and disposition of this particular engine?

Thanks for the followup. I wonder what reason they renamed the MP's in descending order from Rockingham in the first place. Seems to me it would make sense to keep it ascending just in case active track gets added like in this case. When the branch went all the way from Portsmouth to Manchester, mi...

I think investigation will prove that to be correct Mr. Ken. Maybe Jeff could go out there (on his track car of course) and give that reporter a lesson in how to use a calculator.

If not, certainly a hug and a kiss.

May as well add the Waterville wreck train since CSX has donated it:
200 ton crane, B&M. 3365, Industrial Brownhoist 1929
Flat car B&M 524
Tool and cable car MeC 546
Cable storage car MeC. 545
Crew car. B&M 309

I went through my ETT's as far back as 1922. There was a "West Lynn" listed in the B&M timetables, @ .70 miles from "Lynn". Could this have become Riverworks? I believe that refers to the West Lynn section that was further north, just after the Saugus Branch Junction at Comm...

Amtrak locomotives pulling commuter rail trains, roughly winter or summer of 1997 obscure enough? I have a nice picture of one at Roslindale Village station. Wasn't Amtrak the contracted operator at the time? Heres another, Not too many years later, during an equipment problem, there was nothing in...

Thanks Jay. I thought maybe there was a spur or siding over there I didn't know about.

Time to reinstate public flogging..

Where is the Wilkins road dogleg Jay, and what does it serve?

Was Riverworks set up before the MBTA got involved? So it was a B&M decision? Wasn't there a stop in Woburn for some warehouse or something? I went through my ETT's as far back as 1922. There was a "West Lynn" listed in the B&M timetables, @ .70 miles from "Lynn". Could ...

Someone with way too much free time should go through this thread and create a condensed list of the survivors.

Thanks for adding that and reminding me , is there another car nearby? I was cruising around up there more than a few years ago and remember seeing what I thought was a six axle heavy. Maybe this is that car and a case of foggy memory on this end,
