The re-opening of Boston & Maine\u2019s Connecticut River line\u00a0as the \u2018Knowledge Corridor\u2019 passenger route in December has made for a variety of new places to photograph Amtrak\u2019s Vermonter<\/em> that hadn\u2019t had regular passenger\u00a0trains\u00a0in more than 25 years.<\/p>\n

Amtrak train 55 approaches North Hillside Road crossing at South Deerfield, Massachusetts. Exposed with a Canon EOS 7D fitted with 40mm pancake lens; f7.1 1\/1000 of a second.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In conjunction with the rebuilding of the line was brush removal, especially around grade crossings, which have further expanded photographic potential of the Connecticut River route. In addition to Amtrak, Pan Am Southern’s freights also use the line.<\/p>\n

Up to just a few months ago, the view of the line at North Hillside Road in South Deerfield was hemmed in by brush and trees, but\u00a0now it\u2019s cleared and open.<\/p>\n

Pat Yough, Paul Goewey and I were out for the Vermonter on January 23, 2015, and I exposed this image of it racing southward toward its station stop at Northampton.<\/p>\n
