A week’s worth – Amtrak, NECR, PW, FEC and ethanol  Continuing on the backlog here – but instead of what I would normally do and make one post for each “outing,” instead I’m putting together one massive post with a week’s full of shots in it. Basically taking care of pretty much the entire backlog in one fell swoop. In this catch-all post, you’ll see Amtrak, NECR (with NECR and FEC power) and the P&W for railroads, and the usual passenger, freight and a couple ethanol moves thrown in for good measure (both empty and loaded). Yep, there’s a lot of stuff here to check out…
So we start this post out on July 20th, and finish up on the 27th. As I mentioned, the stuff below includes Amtrak – both Acela and Northeast Regional – Providence & Worcester, New England Central, in some cases with Florida East Coast power. And there’s one southbound loaded ethanol run in the evening on the NECR, and an empty ethanol run that I bagged on both the P&W and NECR.
We’ll just leave it at that, and let the pictures do the talking. They do say that a picture is worth a thousand words…well, we should be good for about 46000 words here.
