01.03.16.shtml | March 1st, 2016 Kicked out of my office by my staff and told to take a vacation, I headed south through Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont to mostly visit friends and take the occasional hour trackside along the way. On the 1st, we drove to Portland, Maine passing, but not stopping at, Mount Washington, a place I intend to eventually return to. |
02.03.16.shtml | March 2nd, 2016 Travelling from Andover, where we slept, into Boston, we stopped at Lowell Junction for a few minutes to see what we could find. In the afternoon, travelling from Boston to the area of Milford, New Hampshire, we took the scenic route via Worcester station and found it very hospitable and welcoming to railfans. |
04.03.16.shtml | March 4th, 2016 Travelling north out of Massachusetts, we heard NECR 321 out of Brattleboro and found it at Bellows Falls station before staying the night in that town. |
05.03.16.shtml | March 5th, 2016 The final leg of our trip saw us wake up to the persistent sound of a symmetric braking unit on the scanner in Bellows Falls, which led us to parked-running Guilford engines on the Walpole side of the river, before we turned north to see the Claremont and Concord, west to Rutland, and north to Burlington, stumbling completely by chance on a local working the Omya plant in Florence that we did not hear on the radio. We wrapped up our impromptu vacation stopping in Montreal to visit family. |
24.05.16.shtml | May 24th, 2016 I took Via from Ottawa to Toronto to connect with Via #1 to Winnipeg. |
25.05.16.shtml | May 25th, 2016 I took Via #1 from Toronto to Winnipeg. |
08.08.16.shtml | August 8, 2016 While on vacation in the maritimes, we stopped briefly to watch a CN local work in Dartmouth from the Halifax side of the harbour, and later stumbled across the Louisbourg rail museum on the hunt for the best possible local lobster. |
10.08.16.shtml | August 10th, 2016 On our way from Summerside, PEI to Hopewell rocks in New Brunswick, we stopped at the Hillsboro New Brunswick Railway museum for a quick tour. |
11.08.16.shtml | August 11th, 2016 We started our day in Saint John, NB by seeing what was up at the New Brunswick Southern yard. It did not disappoint. |
