\nAutumnal Scene, 16 Years Ago Today.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It was 16 years ago that Mike Gardner and I drove to New Hampshire<\/a> to photograph Guilford Rail System\u2019s WJED (White River Junction<\/a>, Vt., to East Deerfield, Mass.) freight. It was a clear October day and the foliage was nearing its peak.<\/p>\n

Boston & Maine 340 leads WJED at North Walpole, New Hampshire<\/a> on October 21, 1997. Exposed with an Nikon N90S with f1.4 50mm lens. Slight back lighting accentuates the autumn leaves and nicely illuminates the side of the locomotive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We found the train near Claremont Junction<\/a> and followed it south to North Walpole, where I exposed this color slide.<\/p>\n

Leading the train was GP40 340 lettered for Guilford\u2019s Boston & Maine component. I like this trailing view because the color of the tree above the train mimics the orange band on the engine. Also the three-head General Railway Signal searchlight at the left offers a hint of the Boston & Maine from an earlier era.<\/p>\n

Here, Autumn offers multiple connotations. At one time the White River Junction to Springfield, Massachusetts Connecticut River Line was a busy Boston & Maine route, handling more than a half dozen passenger moves and several freights daily, plus those of Central Vermont Railway. By 1997, Guilford\u2019s operations on was limited to just a few weekly trains.<\/p>\n
