Adjacent to South Providence yard is Coastal Recycling with an unused spur. Across Allens Avenue at the Providence Port, active customers include Fields Terminal Building; Metals Recycling; Northern Pacific Lumber; Univar Chemicals and Waterson Terminal Services. Waterson, the operators of the Providence Port, is responsible for handling various minerals used in sandpaper products, along with coal from Africa, China and South America which are transported by the Providence and Worcester Railroad. Inactive customers in the Port area include Glens Falls Cement and Keyspan/National Grid the old Providence Gas Company.Company.

Description:  After spending some time on the Seaview Railroad (Quonset Point) in Davisville, Rhode Island, these 2 locos were at the old New Haven Auburn Street Yard in Cranston, Rhode Island.

These locomotives were rebuilt IC GPs, rebuilt at the Paducah Shops in Kentucky to GP10 specs. The 4601 had been a GP9, and the 4602 was a GP18 and had a factory low nose as opposed to the Paducah chop. The last I know, these 2 locos were stored at the Pioneer Valley Railroad in Westfield, Massachusetts as part of the 226th Detachment based at the Westover Air Base.
