Palmer Diamond—Ten Years Ago
On May 1, 2015, I exposed this photo of a New England Central freight crossing CSX’s Boston Line on the Palmer, Massachusetts diamond. Some 28 years earlier, I’d exposed images of Canadian National Railways GP40-2Ls working at this same location. I’d have to find the photos and compare the rosters, since it is possible that the lead locomotive in this photo was one of those engines. At the time…

At South…

Blue SD60—Palmer, Mass.
Seven years ago—November 14, 2015—I made these photos of a colorfully decorated SD60 spotted at the New England Central yard at Palmer, Massachusetts. Back in Central Vermont days, six-motor diesels were a very rarely operated to the Palmer yard. These days they are common. Photos exposed using my first Fuji XT1 with an 18-135mm kit lens set to 18.5mm. GMTX 9000 is an unusual example of EMD’s…
