State Line Redcoats
VTR #201, same power from the previous day, has just crossed the state line into New York and is heading west on Boston and Maine's former Bennington Branch towards the PAR interchange at Hoosick Junction.
We are near the site of the 1777 Battle of Bennington, where General Stark led a group of 2,000 militiamen against a British regiment consisting of mostly Hessians. The result was a decisive American victory, one of several victories of the Saratoga campaign that convinced France to join the American Revolution.
