I guess CSX has a special Crime Scene Investigation unit by the "CSI" on its nose...

The Three Rivers borough of Palmer was named after the junction of the Ware (left) and Quaboag (right) into the Chicopee (bottom). The Central Vermont RR just built right over it.

Day and night, rain or shine, the hump must go on...

I caught a crew change in its midst...

At least 22 locomotives are here, GP40-2, B36-7, SD70MAC, AC44CW, SD40-2, ES44DC, C40-8W, AC60CW and even a BNSF C44-9W and GP39E...

A highly modified SD40-2 heads west to hump another string of cars. Notice the ugly radio box cut into the nose and the orange roof lights.

Q116 slowly drops down the mountain to let a struggling westbound by.

I hope 8803 will not submit to all the peer pressure and convert to CSX colors...

American Flags and Red, White and Blue locomotives for the 4th of July...after all, CSO and NECR are owned by RailAmerica!!!

An ex-Metroliner Cab Car flies away for another turn north on the back of a Springfield Line Shuttle.

A SD45-2 body is a sweet catch this day in age!!! This is an ex-Trona Railways SD40M-2, nee ATSF SD45-2. Helm dubbed this locomotive as a plain SD40-2 by the stencil under the window.

New York Central #3 brings up the rear of today's Cardinal. It is now being prepared to back into Chicago's Union Station for boarding. Note the Metra train on the horizon...
