After shooting a rare daylight run of Pan Am Railways train PLED crossing the Connecticut River, I stopped in Berlin on my way home to get a shot of CTrail 6455 as it just cleared Willow interlocking. While it’s nothing exciting or a GP40, which is more favorable by photographers, I couldn’t pass up the nice afternoon winter sunlight. I also like to have before and after photos of locomotives once they come back from a rebuild. The 12 CDOT P40s will be overhauled and repainted at Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops in Indiana. When completed, they will wear the current CTrail scheme as the GP40-3H. The far left track is Pan Am's Waterbury Branch to Plainville, and the far right track is the Berlin industrial, which only sees the occasional storage of maintenance of way equipment.
