Sometimes after making all the wrong moves, luck falls on your lap.<\/p>\n

It was Thursday, October 22, Mike Gardner and I had traveled to Brattleboro, Vermont to intercept the southward New England freight, job 611. Instead of my usual route via back roads, we opted for I-91, then got caught in terrible traffic in the town. By the time we reached the yard, 611 had departed.<\/p>\n

To Millers Falls we went, only to learn we missed the train by moments. \u201cNow what?\u201d Mike asked.<\/p>\n

So, we went over to Pan Am\u2019s East Deerfield Yard, near Greenfield, Massachusetts. Where trains converged from all directions.<\/p>\n

Eastward freight, symbol 14R, came into view led by Union Pacific SD70M 3947. \u201cWhat is this, the Feather River Canyon?\u201d<\/p>\n

This was not hard to take; clean Union Pacific locomotives from the famous \u2018Railfan\u2019s Bridge\u2019 at East Deerfield West.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made countless photos from this well established vantage point, but it\u2019s always nice to get something unusual. The bridge itself is on borrowed time, so my philosophy is make use of it while I can.<\/p>\n
