Train CT-1
Title:  Train CT-1
Description:  Appeared in October 2010 Railpace---For the first time in over two years, a Providence & Worcester GP38-2 was assigned to a New Haven area local. PW 2007 switches Murphy Road Recycling in Portland, CT. on train CT-1. The EMDs are usually found working in Massachusetts or Rhode Island. While Connecticut operations are often the home of PW's bigger B39-8s and B40-8s, PW 2007 is the second interesting locomotive assigned to the area this summer, as rare B23-S7 "Super 7" 2215 worked the area during much of July.
