A Rare Visit to Plainville |
| Description: |
PL-1 was assigned two units this week: MEC 351 and MEC 509, which was making a very rare appearance in Plainville due to the fact that it doesn't have cab signals required for Amtrak's Springfield Line. Today 509 ran solo on a trip west to Terryville and Waterbury after working the Plainville Yard on a very warm June morning. |

After running around the train, PL-1 prepares to shove the eight loads up to the Firestone and Clark-Dietrich Steel sidings (accessed by the spur at right). MEC 502 is a very rare visitor to the area, as it lacks the cab signals required to lead on Amtrak's Springfield Line. |
