Vermont Storm Light
Here is a look back to another favorite shot from 2018 that I'd not shared before as it predated this page and my Flickr account.
This was from my first trip back to the old Green Mountain Railroad in decades after recently moving back to New England (though I've made many more since). I intercepted the Saturday unit slurry train (263) and followed it down to Bellows Falls then chased 264 back west up and over the mountains.
Here is westbound 264 passing the original Rutland era freight house in Gassetts, MP B17.9 on the Bellows Falls Subdivision mainline with a dramatic sky.
Leading the train in VRS company red is Clarendon and Pittsford 204 an EMD GP38-2 blt. Oct. 1973 as SCL 528. And trailing can be seen the nose of the famous VTR 431 an EMD SD70M-2 blt. Dec. 2006 as FEC 101.
