A Bit of Art by the Tracks.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I was at North Bennington, Vermont to photograph Pan Am Railways\u2019 (formerly Guilford Rail System) RJ-1 local freight that was performing freight interchange with Vermont Railway System.<\/p>\n

This route had been dormant for many years but reopened in recent times. While I\u2019d been to North Bennington on several occasions, this was the first time I photographed trains there.<\/p>\n

The North Bennington Station has been beautifully restored. Out on the platform is a statue of a man gazing impatiently at his watch, as if he were a passenger waiting for a train.<\/p>\n

\"Art<\/a>
Statue with RJ-1 at North Bennington, Vermont on July 27, 2010. Exposed using a Canon EOS 7D with 100-400mm image stabilization zoom set at 190mm; f11 at 1\/250 sec, ISO 200.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I made a variety of images of Pan Am\u2019s former Canadian National GP40-2L working around the station. I like this one because it\u2019s different. I used a smaller aperture to allow for greater depth of field, while focusing on the statue instead of the locomotive.<\/p>\n

I believe that\u2019s the old freight house beyond the locomotive and cars.<\/p>\n
