Down At The Junction
Here's a view looking south from the Amtrak platform (served twice daily by the Vermonter) past the the tidy little wood frame depot at MP 76.4 on the modern day New England Central Railroad's Roxbury Sub. The ex Central Vermont station is believed to be the third at the site and was constructed in 1934 and serves this train and its northbound counterpart every day of the year.
Down in the interchange yard is the Vermont Rail System's Washington County Railroad Montpelier and Barre Division crew in the process of gathering up empty gondolas that they will take back into Montpelier ultimately destined for loading up at Northeast Materials quarry in Websterville atop Millstone Hill. The power consists of VTR 206 (a GP38-3 206 blt. Oct. 1969 as SOU 2718 and originally a high nosed straight GP38) and green GMRC 804 (a GP9r blt. Oct. 1955 as NW 13).
