While out for lunch I happened to bump into Readville, MA based local job L010. Today they had a Southern style of running things with the 6223 and 8854 duo.
I passed them in Framingham’s North yard, marking this crews half-way point if you will. The local job starts in CSX’s Readville yard during the mid-late AM throughout the week. They shuffle traffic for a few customers in the small area between there and Walpole, MA. L010 is the transfer job for all empties and loads going in and out of Readville and Walpole. They bring all the empties to Framingham, CSX’s Hub for all local traffic in Southeastern Mass. After dropping their empties, they don’t waste time and go straight to building a train for Walpole and Readville with loaded cars for their customers. Thats where I caught up with them today.
Here, the L010 leaves out of Framingham “North Yard” as seen in the first photo, and crosses the MBTA’s Framingham/Worcester Mainline onto the Framingham Secondary line that brings them to Walpole, and then Readville. I only managed to shoot them in Framingham as we lost them through the backwoods of Sherborn during our brief chase today.
