Two firsts for the Vermont Railway on September 5, as the first southbound move of the Strates Carnival Train departs Burlington, Vermont, behind Vermont Railway SD70M-2 432, which is making its first lead trip on the Northern Subdivision. Train is seen at Florence, Vermont, with the aid of AlienBees lighting.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
