On May 5, Vermont Rail System's weekly slurry train featured a matched Vermont Railway trio of motive power, including three different EMD models, VTR SD70M-2 432, VTR GP40-2W 310 and VTR GP38-2 201. Sometimes composing a single scene can provide a challenge and with the new higher speeds on the GMRC, there’s not much time for a last minute decision. Once I put the drone into position for the overhead shot, I grabbed the DSLR for a framed image inside of the Bartonsville Covered Bridge.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
