Earlier in the month I\u2019ve highlighted various photographic adventures with New England Central 608 (freight that works from Willimantic, Connecticut to Palmer and back). Today\u2019s post focuses on the southward journey.<\/p>\n

Over the years, I\u2019ve photographed many trains climbing the former Central Vermont Railway grade over State Line Hill, and beyond into Connecticut, so this chase is old hat for me.<\/p>\n

Yet, I\u2019m always looking for a new angle, or to place today\u2019s train in a classic setting that I may have captured years ago.<\/p>\n

These views are all from the morning of May 17, 2017 and exposed with my FujiFilm X-T1 digital camera.<\/p>\n
