Title
Ore extra arriving. Fueling station and tower in background. West Springfield MA
Subject
Diesel Freight Locomotive
Description
This view is across the west end of West Springfield yard and includes the diesel fueling station (still intact), locomotive shop (demolished), and general yard office (completely remodeled). The train entering the yard on track 6 in the eastbound yard is a 44-car ore drag out of Buffalo for Boston headed by units 1008-3300-3307-1002. Track 6 and track 8 (adjacent and nearer the camera) have since been removed to make way for a driveway used by trucks delivering ice to perishable loads in eastbound fast freights, which are yarded on tracks 4 and 10 (even numbers only here).
