Westminster, MA

Westbound empty Bow Coal train passing through interlocking. Still double track all the way west to Parkers. Unused signal bridge is left over from when there were three main tracks between Westminster and South Ashburnham. The third unit here is a U30C, a rare site on the B&M at the time because 6 axle units were restricted on the B&M.

Photographed by Bruce Nelson, March 24, 1973.

Interesting photo! Looks like GP9 has the red P / white C mating worms logo. And the B&M looks to be ready to install new ties. It looks like welded rail has yet to be installed (unless this stretch didn't get upgraded under Alan Dustin).
