Orange On Orange
New England Central Railroad train 611 (Brattleboro to Palmer turn that forwards the connecting 323/324 road freight traffic) is approaching the Upper Farms Rd. crossing at about MP 106.7 on NECR's Palmer Sub, the former Central Vermont Railway mainline. In the lead is NECR 3474 a rebuilt SD40M-2 that began life as an SD45 (and still wears the classic flared car body) blt. Jan. 1969 for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy as their number 523.
The bucolic farm country in the northern Pioneer Valley is made up of some of the prettiest little towns in the commonwealth. And there is no better time to enjoy it out here than on a picture perfect autumn day when the trees are seemingly on fire with the brilliant fall colors that the New England region is renowned for.
