CSXT GP40-2 #6218 maneuvers through a switch alongside South Water Street in Troy, NY. Up until the 1950s, Troy was quite the railroad town, at one point hosting over 100 trains a day from the New York Central, Boston and Maine, Delaware and Hudson, and even the Rutland (via the B&M). The D&H ceased its Troy operations in 1963 and the B&M in 1971. The New York Central and its successors carried on, though only as far as their small yard in South Troy. Today, CSX visits the city three times a week with its local B761 (seen here). Though a far cry from Troy's former railroading glory, it's nice to see its railroading history carrying on in some fashion.
This album seeks to portray classic New England and Upstate New York imagery. It showcases the most perfect examples of regional identity, with special attention to structures and landscape.
