I took a break from classes at Hampshire College and ventured to Boston & Maine’s East Deerfield yard (near Greenfield, Massachusetts) with some friends for a day of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the many trains we saw that day was B&M’s EDSP (East Deerfield to Springfield) through freight that operated with a GP18\/GP9\/GP7 locomotive combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time this was a refreshing throwback, as more modern and often mixed lash-ups of B&M, Maine Central and Delaware & Hudson locomotives tended to predominate on the east-west Fitchburg route via the Hoosac Tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos were exposed on Kodak black & white film using my Leica 3A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
