I took my gas powered generator and set up some flood lamps near the ROW at the Holbrook / Avon town line and waited for the Northbound CSX train to pass. Even with the extra light it's hard to see the Black tank cars at the head end. Tonights train consisted of tankers of tallow headed for P&G in Quincy and empty trash gondolas to be spotted on the return trip.

  • He's heading towards Braintree Yard where the 12,500 gallon tank cars of tallow and other chemicals for The P&G soap plant in Quincy will be switched out by The Fore River Transportation RR the following morning. Fore River RR will take them to Quincy and return the empties for the next nights run. This M-F train comes up via Middleboro from Taunton which branches off the main Amtrak, MBTA and CSX line in Attleboro. Those black tankers and gondolas for trash train eat up the lighting

  • Very nice catch, is he heading towards Attleboro to drop of the empties for CSX B725?
