VERMONTER changing power and direction

Saw The Vermonter in Palmer, MA on its SOUTHBOUND trip. Here is where it changes DIRECTION and POWER. Those riding facing forward are now facing backward and vice versa. An interesting way to see the inside world of the railroad!

Aerial Shot of LSL #449

Had an oppty to get this overhead shot of the Lake Shore Limited, 449, heading WEST from Worcester, MA on its way to Springfield,,,,and ultimately to Chicago. Hope you enjoy the angle. Anyone know what the X is on the end of the dinette car?

LAKE SHORE LTD. NEAR THE END OF THE LINE!

Here is the Lake Shore Ltd in Worcester, Ma on its trip East. One more stop in Framingham and its then bound for both Boston stops. End of a 1000 mile journey!

Maine Eastern Railroad

This is the perfect time of year to visit the great State of Maine.  While there, we visited the Maine Eastern Railroad and took their 57 mile trip from Brunswick to Rockland.  The scenery is perfect and the trip is too!

All Aboard!

AMTRAK 150 MPH MANSFIELD, MA

SPEEDING TRAIN.

Eastbound LAKE SHORE to Boston

Saw this in Worcester, MA. On way to Boston. Just two more stops!

DOWNEASTER..Maine to Massachusetts

This train was viewed in Old Orchard Beach, Maine on its way southbound from Portland to Boston. Notice the power at both ends of the train since there is no space to turn the train around during the trip.

LAKE SHORE with SLEEPER

For a long time, the run on the Lake Shore from Boston to Albany had NO sleeper car. This is the first time that it reappeared. It makes it so much easier to just board your train ONCE and not have to move when arriving in Albany. Same thing on the return trip. Stay in the same car all the way from Chicago to Boston.

ACELA at 150 mph NYC to Providence

Here is the Acela express from NYC to Providence. Fastest speeds are EAST of New Haven and between New London and Providence. Only places to reach over 100 MPH. Rest of route is either too curvy in RI or too conjested in CT, north of NY.

Enjoy!
