Rare Visitors |
| Description: |
A gaggle of power idles away on the Canal Line in Plainville on a sunny winter morning. GP40-2LW 519, leased Providence & Worcester GP38 2010, GP40 352, GP40-2LW 501, and GMTX GP40 3109 (wearing a blue dip scheme but lacking Pan Am lettering) compose the lineup. This is the P&W unit's first appearance in Plainville, and seeing two ex-CN widecabs here is a special treat. |

Rare Visitor |
| Description: |
After running around the train, PL-1 prepares to shove the eight loads up to the Firestone and Clark-Dietrich Steel sidings (accessed by the spur at right). MEC 502 is a very rare visitor to the area, as it lacks the cab signals required to lead on Amtrak's Springfield Line. |

A Rare Visit to Plainville |
| Description: |
PL-1 was assigned two units this week: MEC 351 and MEC 509, which was making a very rare appearance in Plainville due to the fact that it doesn't have cab signals required for Amtrak's Springfield Line. Today 509 ran solo on a trip west to Terryville and Waterbury after working the Plainville Yard on a very warm June morning. |
