Remarks & Notes

Mass Coastal Railroad operates the energy train five days a week. The empty train travels from Rochester onto Cape Cod where it picks up trash from a facility in Yarmouth. The loaded train returns to Rochester where the trash is burned to fuel a power plant. The empty train is known as MC-1 while the loaded train is MC-2. An earlier than usual MC-1 is seen passing through cranberry bogs in East Sandwich. The GP9 was built new in 1956 for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.
