It is the mid 1950's and the south bound manifest freight between White River Junction, VT and Brattleboro, VT has been made up in the B&M Westboro, NH yard and just after 6:30 am. has received it's orders and cleared out of the yard to cross the river to the WRJ yard and beyond. Let's follow the train as it makes its way south.

Very nice shots, there Paul!
Curious: Have you changed some things on your version of Paul's Conn River route?
Note to self: "One of these days" I need to dig out my copy of Paul's Conn River and get the missing track shapes tracked down/installed/etc... and have some fun with New England diesel railroading. Wonder how Rutland diesels would look on it?

Thanks Andre. I changed the microtex, the terrotex, trees and the track.

Route: Paul Charland's Conn. River Route, (Slightly Modified)
Engine & Cars: BLW/ZT, ET, TS
It is late spring of 1956 and my friend Tim and I had the day off from high school. My uncle Fred was working for the B&M as yard master at White River Junction and he got the two of us permission to do some railfanning around the yard. We signed all the permission and waver forms and we had his full 8 hour shift to shoot as many trains as were scheduled that day.
Shortly after his shift began we were near the station when a through freight heading west from Concord came across the river and was transferring over to the Connecticut River line.
