Lonsdale Bleachery Trolley |
Description: |
Resistor block, and probably the only source of heat for the box cab. Its my second time in the old box cab. My grandfather knew the operator and had me in here for a ride when I was about 5 years old. We traveled from the large warehouse, thru the small yard, down over the Blackstone River and the New Haven interchange. |

This is where the box Cab worked! Tracks curve down to what would be a small yard for running around a couple cars. The track is in remarkable condition. Its set in concrete and you probably could clean the sand and use the tracks again |

Train PR-2 at Ann and Hope Way |
Description: |
Running past Ann and Hope, PR-2's approaching Ann and Hope Way - in another minute, they'll be at the Lonsdale Yard Limit Board at Mendon Road. They're heading for the Ralco siding at Woonsocket Yards at Woonsocket, Rhode Island with that covered hopper and return with a couple empty hoppers. |
