Chasing the Vermont Rail System's Washington County train from Newbury to Pompanoosuc, Vermont

Clarendon & Pittsford GP38 #203 leads the Vermont Rail System's weekday White River Junction turn on its southbound return trip January 23, 2009. The route is the former Boston & Maine Connecticut River line, once the host of joint service with Canadian Pacific. Today it is a light density route with both overhead and online traffic. Turns run out of White River Jct. and Newport, meeting in the middle of the line and swapping crews. Thus, #203 started her day in Newport, while her crew is returning back to their starting point in WRJ.

The short train of a boxcar, covered hopper and log car is seen rolling through the snow past the Round Barn in Newbury and again in Bradford, Fairlee (Ely) and Pompanoosuc, Vermont
