October 23, 1983: I traveled with Bob Buck to Bellows Falls, Vermont for the last run of Steamtown in Vermont.
Canadian Pacific Pacific No. 1246 and all three Green Mountain Railroad RS-1s were assigned to an epic consist that ran over Mount Holly to Rutland and back.
On the westward climb to Mount Holly, I made this view from the window of the train using my Leica 3A.
I was impressed by the large number of chasers on Route 103 in hot pursuit of the train.
The day had started out bright, but soon turned wet and windy.
