P&W reported over 21,000 carloads of total coal traffic from 2000 onwards. Intermodal traffic is carried by P&W between the connection with CSX in Worcester and an intermodal facility just south of Worcester. Continued focus on small customers remains a part of P&W's operations. An example cited by several sources is the company's dedication to serving lumber customer Arnold Lumber in West Kingston, Rhode Island, which receives one or two cars of freight at a time. Serving this customer requires P&W trains to travel farther southward on the Northeast Corridor than for any other customer, finding space between Amtrak trains which travel up to on this particular segment. Passenger trains The Providence and Worcester does not operate regularly scheduled passenger train service, but has maintained a small fleet of ex-Amtrak passenger cars since the 1980s, which have been used both as a business train for the company and for a variety of chartered passenger trains in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The company also operates a Christmas train in November and December of each year. The train, themed on the movie The Polar Express, departs from Woonsocket station and travels along the company's main line, and has operated since 1999. Rolling stock As of 2016, the Providence and Worcester Railroad operated the following locomotives: Real estate For many years, the Providence and Worcester Railroad had significant real estate holdings in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. In 1976, the railroad began construction on the South Quay Marine Terminal in East Providence, adjacent to the terminus of the East Providence Branch. P&W filled in a portion of the Providence River and planned to turn it into a major shipping facility. While P&W long looked for a partner to develop the project, it remained unused for decades. P&W finally sold the location in 2019 to RI Waterfront Enterprises, which in September 2022 began developing the site to support construction of wind turbines. Several P&W-built stations are preserved. In addition to the Woonsocket station, which still sees seasonal passenger service from P&W's Polar Express trains, freight or passenger stations also exist in Manville, Rhode Island; Uxbridge, Massachusetts (Uxbridge station); and Whitinsville, Massachusetts. Station listing The following stations all had passenger train service, unless noted. Passenger train service on the main line ended in 1957, apart from the non-stopping State of Maine Express; the East Providence Branch had passenger service from 1893 to 1896. See also
