These ARR 1508 shots were taken in March of 1997..  I remember the day it was drizzly and cold.  But it helped to bring out the colors.

Here are two more shots taken the same day some time in Dec 96. Here it is pulling the now dead and gone Ware River Line which was operated by Mass Central on the weekends as a tourist scenic run up and down their 26 mile railroad.  Finding  them in the Palmer yard which is about 1.5 miles outside their yard was a treat.  These shots show one of the last times that the 1508 pulled passenger cars in Massachusetts. At most I think it was used in this way about three more times down here.
