Bull Moose Country
Last weekend I lucky enough to stumble upon an Ebay listing of some tremendous North Country slides from the early 1980's. What really made it worth all while was they were from my friend, the late Al Thomas, AKA "The Bull Moose". Al was a great photographer and friend of many and mine for many years. Thankfully, since his passing, I have acquired good number of slides of his in my collection. It is no secret that the Northeast kingdom of Vermont and New Hampshire is my favorite area. This slide dated April 1984, shows Grand Trunk road train 393 on the approach to Berlin, NH passing the area of Cascade, NH, home of the Berlin Mills Railway. Four CNR MLW M-420's lead the train west headed for their setoff and pickup, before heading to Island Pond and Montreal. G&W's SLR is now the owner and operator of the former Berlin Sub and certainly doesn't look like this anymore. I think you might see some more Al's great work in the days to come.
