A short visit to North central Connecticut on May, 18, 2018 yielded my second New England Central #608 in as many days. With the era of blue and gold GP38s counting down fast, I'd follow these ex-GM&O EMDs whatever chance I had while I was down from Maine! The center of Stafford Springs, CT is a quintessential location when pursuing this job between Willimantic, CT and Palmer, MA. Trains do a respectable 10mph only because of the tight curves through this busier area. Here, 3857 and 3850 are heading back to Willimantic after a morning of interchange and switching cars in Palmer.
