Wow! Sorry to see this go. I went to college in Worcester and now my sister lives there, so I always love seeing the P&W still hard at work when I visit.
Interestingly enough, a few months back I was visiting my sister and saw a line of NYC aluminum streamlined cars go by, unfortunately by the time I got my phone out to take a photo, they had passed. even had a great observation car, looked just like the Lionel postwar 2500 series cars. Would have liked to have known where those were headed....
