The other day, Kris and I intercepted Amtrak\u2019s northward Vermonter, train 54, crossing the former Boston & Maine bridge at Cheapside in Greenfield, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me the train was the \u2018frosting\u2019. The cake is the cool 1920s-era deck truss bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve driven by this structure hundreds of times, but only rarely photographed trains on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catching Amtrak in low afternoon sun made for excellent conditions to make the most of the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
