First passenger train on the Providence and Worcester since the road regained its independence! Seen at the Valley Falls office with its old hand crank gates. The crossing then a stop and protect crossing. Boston and Maine Budd cars 6120, 6924, 6204 and 6129 were chartered by the Mass Bay Railroad Enthusiasts on Sunday, June 24, 1973.
