SW1500 Switching Freight Cars into a Grass Covered NECR Yard

Here we see the New England Central Railroad 604 with the SW1500 2340 and her crew switching freight cars. In the first shot they're just coming out of the CSX interchange yard hauling freight cars over to the Massachusetts Central Railroad Yard. Next the crew brings a mix of cars across the diamond of the Boston Line into the grass covered New England Central Railroad Yard. NOTE: The Amtrak Cars filled with what looked like boulders of Granite.

This SW1500 was at one time the property of NS, and worked out of Inman Yard.

@EastMassParanormal I think it was originally a P&LE and then it became a PIR (Pittsburgh Industrial Railroad), then Connecticut Southern RR. That PIR was originally a Railtex property. I dont believe Railamerica owned that line very long as Ohio Central took it over a few years back.
