The Nashua River in Harvard, MA was unusually quiet today....until around noontime when the low rumbling of an eastbound loaded coal train livened-up the valley...
The CSXT train came to a stop at Still River Depot Road leaving a few hundred tons of coal atop the bridge...
After a short breather they got underway again, continuing their journey northward. Soon they'd be leaving the Nashua River Valley and hopping over to Stony Brook which they'd follow to the Merrimack River. Journey's end would be in Bow, NH where the coal will ultimately be used in generating electricity.
After this little midday drama the river settled back into quiet repose...until some late season snow began falling in earnest...
Plenty of plastic found afloat...
...including another 3 dozen nip bottles.
By the time I got home the ground was white and things looked wintry again...for the first time in awhile.
