Pictures from a trip on Green Mountain's
. . . . . . . . . Rutland Express
Green Mountain RS-1 at Bellows Falls
This bridge carries the Green Mountain Flyer accross an old canal.  Notice the switch that starts on the other end of the bridge.  The Rutland RR had a very compact terminal here.
The Green Mountain Railroad skirts the Connecticut River for the first couple of miles north of Bellows Falls.
The old talc plant at Gassetts, VT would make a great model project.  The Green Mountain main line runs on one side of the Williams River and the two sidings for the talc plant are on the other side.
The Rutland Express glides past the Ludlow, VT station before crossing one of the many high bridges on the Green Mountain Railroad
The East Wallingford section house is preserved through the efforts of the local historical society.
A rare shot from the back of combine 260 into the Rutland yard.  The Green Mountain passenger equipment only take the full ride from Bellows Falls to Rutland once a year.
Old Canadian Pacific side chute cars are used for ballast service.  This one was found in the yard at Rutland next to the old Howe scale company.
On the return trip to Bellows Falls from Rutland RS-1 405 runs ahead of the Vermonter lounge car.  The site is just east of the Ludlow station.
The conductor was kind enough to open the back door of combine 260 for us to get a shot of the Rutland Express speeding away from the Brockways Mills Gorge.
The Rutland Express was postponed from entering Bellows Falls station by an Amtrak train.  Vermont is served by a surprising number of passenger trains.
