After northbound train does necessary switching at either Tilcon or Rings End in Bethel locos and usually an empty centerbeam or two tie down in Danbury on the Housy main until the next night when they head down the branch after 1876 (last train up before bustitution) get in to Danbury. This afternoon four locos sitting without cars...a B40-8 on each end bracketing two B30-7 b-units.
CT-2s power was laid up today on the Weedsatonic right next to the Danbury Railway Museum today about 8:50 am (0850), 2 4000 - series B40-8s, 2 B30-7 cabless B units sandwiched in between. And of course, stupid me didn't have my point and shoot right on my person, and my Galaxy S5 cell was powered off, both left on my equipment at Danbury Station (had to stroll to the Danbury register room to pick up today's new blanket M Forms for the Danbury/Bethel stop and warns).
Next time.......next time.......I shall be prepared!!
Railroading is not a career, it's a lifestyle! Railroading........what other life would I wanna live?
