1968 Railfan Photos

I was stuck in northern New Hampshire in the late 1960s. Only good thing about it was the ability to railfan Canadian Pacific, Boston & Maine, and Central Vermont. One day in the spring of 1968 I wandered around White River Junction, VT and the B&M facility across the Connecticut River in Westboro, NH. The photos were made on 127 film with a snapshot camera.

Here's the power for the East Deerfield-Springfield freight laying over in Westboro:

Looking north in the White River Jct yard. The passenger station is at center right in the distance. At this time, there was no passenger service. Amtrak would restore it in the next decade.

Although it was 1968 (48 years ago!), there were no ACI labels to be seen, and the freight cars mostly still had roofwalks. How things would change.
