On this day in 2010 (September 11), I photographed a northward New England Central empty ethanol train cresting the grade at State Line viewed from Monson, Massachusetts.

In the first two photographs the train is south of the Massachusetts-Connecticut border.

To make this telephoto sequence, I was working with my old Canon EOS7D with 100-400mm Canon zoom

This was a familiar location. When I was a teenager, I’d ride my 10-speed bicycle here from our family home to photograph Central Vermont freights.
