Switcher Saturday
The original Springfield Terminal Railway was an interurban trolley line from N. Charlestown, NH to Springfield, VT. After the end of passenger service, the railroad survived for years with minimal amount of freight, hauling mostly salt for the city of Springfield, VT. GE 44 tonner number has arrived at the B&M interchange at N. Charlestown, NH and is switching the lumber facility in the fall of 1977. According to Fred's notes on this slide, number suffered a major failure shortly after this and was replaced by B&M power. Photo by Fred Bailey
