The other day I wrote of our adventure following the former Grand Trunk Railway line north through New Hampshire and Vermont to the Canadian border but not <\/strong>finding anything on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, June 5, 2020, Kris Sabbatino and I made another go of finding the \u2018SLR\u2019 as Genesee & Wyoming\u2019s St Lawrence & Atlantic is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Just for point of reference in this instance \u2018SLR\u2019 represents the railroads official reporting marks. However, to avoid unnecessary confusion or gratuitous irony, I did not make these photos using a single lens reflex, but rather a mirror-less Lumix LX7 digital camera.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Andrew Dale\u2014who supplied helpful schedule information and sighting details\u2014we were able to intercept the SLR\u2019s westward freight. Driving east from Gorham, Kris and I waited for the train at Locke\u2019s Mills, Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally we could hear its EMD-roar to the east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then followed the heavy freight on its westward prowl toward Canada. We were among several other photographers with similar approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full moon and solid tripod aided my photographic efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
