Google Earth Engine Shops Contest # 60

And here we go with contest no. 60.

 

It might be cooler than you think. I left something out of the picture, that suggests just that.

 

I think the location of this, could be of some surprise, kind of "I didn't expect to find this here"

 

Hmmm, Looks like either CN or NS


:question:

 

I was thinking it might be a Pioneer or a Watco road until I realized the Watco units have yellow on at least one end. The several, scattered black locomotives look more like second generation power than the new engines that would most likely be present if it were CN or NS property.

 

Well this is a class III railroad.

 

engine looks like a RS-3 in Norfolk and Western but they not class III road ... hmmmm

 

Come on don't go dead in the midst of on this one.
Btw this RR operates on another RR's tracks, and it doesn't make a conflict in business interests.

So four hints in one post, this should get things going ;-) ;-)

 

lat=40.7076105

lon=73.8888309

Fresh Pond Junction Queens NY (NY&A)

 

Yes sir.

It is New York & Atlantic Railway in Queens, NY.

Was it my hints, or did you just find it??

 

I just found it! I went through pretty much every "railroads of" list on wiki to find it lol. I probably could have found it monday as I was searching all over the Providence and Worchester for it (You could clearly see a P&W GE unit off tot he right side of the pic) Hell I even searched part of New York and somehow missed it. :lol:
