A Lakes Region Delight - a photo on Flickriver

            Ever since I started working at the Plymouth & Lincoln Railroad in summer 2021, I’ve always wanted to have the chance to photograph our EMD GP7 no. 302 running trains. However, knowing the locomotive was backup power, I knew my chances of this happening would be slim. 

Finally, on October 14th 2023, right after I got out of my other job, I received word that 302 would be pulling all Meredith excursions that day. Without a doubt, I ran home to grab the camera, and was on my way towards Meredith. 
The 302 is one of two EMD Geep’s on the property, and is used occasionally to move equipment as well as pulling excursion trains. This was the first time the 302 would operate under the new ownership of Patriot Rail. 

This particular locomotive was built in August 1950 for the Rock Island Railroad. It served the Rock for years before ending up at the New England Southern Railroad. After arriving at the Plymouth & Lincoln, the 302’s high hood would be chopped and the engine would retain the company red and silver colors. As mentioned earlier, 302 has seen limited usage in recent years, so having the chance to see this engine in service was definitely a treat!

Here the 302 is seen passing by the Maiden Lady Cove with an evening Turkey Dinner Excursion.
