Eastern Railroad Discussion > A Good Start To 2015

I haven't gotten out much yet this year, so I've tried to make it count. Here are a couple of the highlights thus far:

1 - Aftermath of the Blizzard Of 2015. Providence & Worcester usually does winter cleanup with a pair of light engines, but almost three feet of snow getting dumped on the Boston area overnight required them to bring out the heavy artillery. I saw this out the living room window, and then went out. Tried to get more than one shot but chasing was a lost cause for a variety of annoying reasons, so this was it.

2 - A week or so before the snow, my son needed to get out of the house one afternoon, so we took a ride up to Worcester. The scanner foretold of an approaching CSX Q426, so we headed into the warmth of Union Station to wait. When the train showed up, I ducked out the side door we were standing in just long enough to fire off a couple frames and get back inside.

3 - On 1/31, I went down to Philadelphia for the Wilmington NRHS Chapter's Super Saturday PCC charter. I think we had a total of 15 photo stops through the day; this was at 42nd and Woodland, getting toward the end of the day.

I'd consider any of the three for IOTD, nice group and definitely a good start to 2015!!!

Beautiful images. I like number three with the rebuilt PCC since it shows it in use on a city street instead of the way many are seen in a museum.

First photo is awesome - IOTD for sure.
Thanks for sharing.

Why? Do you think the students at USP (University of the Sciences in Philadelphia) will attack you?

Yup, one of the best snowplow pictures I have ever seen! === === = === JLH

Where is pick one taken? I live in the area...

Was this shot in Railfan magazine? OR your shot? Well done.
