What drifts in across the fields
is not evening, no, nor mist
or smoke, though in its translucency
it seems a scrim as if some drama
has, without our knowing, begun
and as it falls over farms and trees
and then the river that demarcates
the city and at last the homes
where we live, we feel its weight,
a preternatural darkness – a shroud
that wraps the towers, spires, steeples,
obscures the skyline we are often
comforted by, a silence, too, come
down over empty streets, no one
about, and still, a stillness far
into the distance unbroken
by any dog or siren or penitential
cry for mercy: we know something
comes, invisible, with a hunger
we might stop, but maybe not
for months or years or maybe
not at all.

Not many folks were out on this day. Just me and my step-father, and this northbound Central Vermont train near south of Willimantic, CT, shaking the ice off the trees after an overnight freezing rain storm.
Acheminant des camionnettes pour le compte de la SNCF, le train 48326 Vintimille - Miramas est capturé non loin de Saint-Chamas, alors qu'il arrive au terme de son périple.
Il est ce jour-là tracté par la BB36335, accompagnée de la BBB26116 cv.
C'est notre ami Fabrice qui est alors aux commandes de ce dernier !
Saint-Chamas - 29.12.2024.
Central Vermont GP9 #4548 sits in the yard in Durand circa 1990. This unit was sold to the Huron & Eastern and became HESR #105 in 1990-1991. Based on that information, this photo may show 4548 in-transit via the GTW and Central Michigan to its new owner in the Thumb. Some of these did come to the GTW in the 80s and ran around in this paint for a while, but I'm not sure if this was one of those or not. Most of them were rebuilt into GP9Rs.
I believe this is a Bruce Benson photograph. A fuzzy print I did my best to clean up!
