Viewing Album: WPGX Coal Extra on the P&W
By:
Nick Zabawar
Dates:
3/7/2008 - 3/7/2008
Album Info:
Coal extra symbol WPGX working on a Friday afternoon. Bringing coal up to Gardner, Mass for the Pan Am, or Guilford, or Boston and Maine, whatever they call themselves these days. PR-3 went down to the Port to work some Ethanol MT's, and what I believe to be PR-2 came down lite engines from Gardner, Mass after doing some work on more coal for Pan Am. THe extra was shooting flames and apparently had some problems up to Worcester, they stopped at least once, and were really chugging past us at The Rock in Ashton, RI. Exciting times on the Providence and Worcester!

Title:
PR-2
Description:
I believe these lite engines to be PR-2. They will couple onto the coal extra and be part of the power. "Flamer" 3907 would have some issues later on the way up.

Title:
PR-2
Description:
I believe these lite engines are PR-2 coming from Worcester, Mass. The dispatcher told the coal extra to talk to both PR-2 and 3 before making their moves. These engines coupled onto the extra. The 3907 had some issues and was shooting flames by Martin Street in Cumberland, RI
