On a drizzly, gloomy January day in 2007, P&W light power symbol WX-1 takes the remote controlled switch at Barbers to pass through the St Gobain complex on its way to Gardner. Two of the four engines shown, the B23-SS7 (ie, "Super Sevens" rebuilt by GE) remain on the P&W roster (I think) but the ex-B&O GP40 has been sold to Luzerne Susquehanna Railway while the B30-7A cabless "Twinky" has been scrapped. I'm guessing the signal at the Barbers switch displays turnout position to southward movements?
