May 4, 1997: I exposed this Fujichrome slide of Amtrak’s westward Lake Shore Limited (Boston section), train 449 rolling down the Quaboag River Valley near the former Boston & Albany station at West Brimfield, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was at a time when the train was carrying a fair amount of freight and mail on the head and tail ends of the passenger consist, and shortly before Amtrak replaced the old EMD F40PHs with new Genesis P42 diesels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was just about two years before Conail’s class 1 operations were divided and the old Boston & Albany was conveyed to CSX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
