On Saturday, September 7, Vermont Rail System put the veteran ex-Rutland turned Green Mountain Railroad Alco RS-1 #405 into service for the fall season. It re-debuted for the Glory Days of the Railroad festival at White River Jct., VT. On Saturday evening, a special sunset charter took the train to Ely, VT and return to White River Jct. The charter is cruising south along the Connecticut River at Pompanoosuc, VT, over the namesake river joining the Conn River here. Train was near passenger speed of 30 mph for the line, photo made at 1/8th of a second, ISO 1600 and f4.0 pan.
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
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!)
