Splitting The Signals
With some time to kill and no interest in looking for VTR 263 this time since it had a blue leaser leading again I decided I'd go find a shot of Amtrak 55, the southbound Vermonter from St. Albans to Washington.
The north end of the 8887 ft. siding at Walpole North (MP 146.8) on the New England Central Railroad's Palmer Sub features a nice set of Boston and Maine era searchlight signals. Interestingly the northbound signal is offset and features a 'doll arm' with a rare blue light making for an interesting historic scene with the train splitting the classic signals.
