Due to a group of VRS geeps being temporarily OOS for painting the Vermont Railway has been using ancient Green Mountain Railroad Alco RS1 405 for daily freight service on the Bellows Falls switcher assignment (train DASW). Normally this unit only sees service on the VRS' passenger excursion trains and perhaps use on revenue freights once or twice a year at most. So any time she's used for revenue service is special, and I'm hard pressed to think of anywhere else in the country an RS1 is used to haul freight anymore. For these reasons, any time she is out and I can swing it I make the nearly 3 hr trip north to see her.
What is even more special is that this unit is very much on home rails having been built for the Rutland in November 1951. So that means she is approaching her 71st birthday in a few months and has never left the Green Mountain state!
Having handled a few switching chores in North Walpole she is now headed headed out toward Riverside Yard for their day's work and to await the arrival of road train 263 from Rutland. She is seen here thumping across the NECR diamond (former Boston and Maine Conn River main) beside the Bellows Falls depot that is just out of sight to my left. The are at about MP B0.3 at the end of modern day VRS' Falls Running Track of the Bellows Falls Subdivision which is the original Rutland Railway Green Mountain mainline.
They are about to cross the truss bridge over the Bellows Falls Canal, one of the nation's first canals, which opened in 1802 to allow navigation on the Connecticut River to bypass the 52 ft high Great Falls. By 1858 the canal was no longer used for navigation, having been supplanted by the railroads, but instead provided water power to six adjacent mills. Eventually the lower end of the canal with the locks was filled in and the upper end here was widened in conjunction with the opening of the Bellows Falls Hydroelectric plant in 1928. The 49 megawatt station continues in use today and since 2017 has been owned by Great River Hydro LLC which owns 13 hydroelectric power facilities and 3 storage-only reservoirs along the Deerfield and Connecticut Rivers.

Delaware Lackawanna LL1 comes back from AZEK in Moosic with 2 cars seen here getting ready to cross Cedar Ave in Scranton with DL #405 on point.
DMIR 405 leading the proctor switch down towards the ore docks in Duluth. The awful paint condition is due to an acid wash on the nose.
With the disappointing news that the most famous Alco on New England has been winterized and put up for the season due to no fall foliage trains this year I dug out one more from earlier in the year when I shot her making a rare freight run.
With motive power continued to be tight at the time due to the then ongoing daily Pan Am detours for the third time (I think) this past winter veteran Green Mountain railroad Alco RS-1 was pressed into freight duty. The classic first generation road switcher was built in November 1951 for the Rutland and has spent her entire life here on "home rails." These days she is a pampered pet reposing all winter in the ex B&M North Walpole, NH roundhouse and generally only used on summer and fall excursion passenger trains.
On this day, however, she was again briefly awakened from her winter slumber and fired up for an 0700 call to run light to Smithville to pull one hit load from the Emerys talc plant.
Here she is pausing at Depot Street beside the 1871 brick depot built by the Vermont Central during the time period that road was leading the Rutland. She is on her return trip back east toward Riverside Yard operating as symbol XR-1 with one covered hopper in tow. After waiting for the crew to grab lunch at Lisai's Chester Market she would soon be back on her way along the same rails she's trod for almost 70 years.

What a fantastic car. Registered in northeast London, this has been out of an MOT since 2018. It's done, can you believe it, just 8 thousand miles! And only around 1000 since 2006! Not at all a surprise it's had one owner from new (in fact, this was only a mile or so from the dealership where it was sold new!), and there's only 4 405 GLs left from 1993!

Las 319.221 y 319.405 saliendo de la nave de pintura del TCR de Villaverde. Buenas noticias que sigan pasando R y repintadas. A la 221 se le van a volver a colocar los bogies de ancho UIC y la 319.405 aun le quedan unas pruebas antes de volver a la vía.

A very nice looking Coventry registered example.
Both number plates had tags for Lytham St Annes Rover, which has been out of business for many years (at least 15 I'd say). They became Lytham St Annes Saab, until about 5-6 years ago, and the place is now a used car dealership.
