I was in WRJ one day in the 1970's or early 1980's when a train came
into the yard off the Northern Line. It consisted of a GP-7, one box car
and a caboose. It was on a Thursday and later I found out that a local
freight at that time was operating one day a week, Thursdays from
Concord to WRJ and return.
Got a slide of this move in the B&M yard at WRJ.
Hard to believe that this line at one time was fully signaled and CTC
operated with 60 MPH for passenger trains of which there were several
every day in each direction.
