Vermonter passes West Northfield Grave Yard.

1 Comment

On our rambles on Friday July 5, 2019, we paused at the trackside grave yard in West Northfield, Massachusetts (railroad south of the junction at East Northfield), to roll by Amtrak 54, the northward Vermonter.

I was giving my cousin Stella a tour of New England curiosities, sights, and infrastructure.

We’d hoped to catch New England Central’s northward 611, a train that we spotted a few minutes earlier, but we ran out of time before it crossed the Connecticut Bridge (located less than a mile from this spot on NECR’s line that runs between Palmer and East Northfield.)

I made these views using my FujiFilm XT1 with 18-135mm lens.

Pan Am Railways and a Grave Yard at East Northfield, Massachusetts

Pan Am Railways and Grave Yard, East Northfield, Massachusetts

November 1st is celebrated as The Day of the Dead in Mexico, and as All Souls Day in some European traditions. For the Celts it is Samhain.

In honor of these holidays, I present a pair of recent views of Pan Am Railways symbol freight EDBF (East Deerfield to Bellows Falls, Vermont) passing a grave yard near the Boston & Maine Connecticut River Line at East Northfield, Massachusetts.

Low sun accentuates autumn foliage and allows for a glint effect on the side of the locomotives while making for stark silhouettes of some of the grave markers.

I exposed these views with my FujiFilm X-T1. In post processing I adjusted the camera RAW files in Lightroom to balance the contrast and warm up the color temperature.

In addition to the digital photos, I exposed a few color slides using my Canon Eos 3 with a 20mm lens..
