Viewing Album:  Rutland RS-1 405, Rutland-Burlington
 
By:Nicholas Dixon
Dates:9/29/2024 - 9/29/2024
Album Info:In honor of VRS's 60th anniversary, Trains Magazine hosted a 2-day charter that used Green Mountain Railroad RS-1 #405, put back in it's original Rutland lettering, to run from Rutland to Bellows Falls on Saturday and Rutland to Burlington on Sunday. The Sunday trip hit a bit of a snag when it was realized that the 25mph limit on the #405, plus a 2 hour wait at Middlebury for Amtrak to pass by, would strain the limits of the crew's service hours and would force the elimination of photo runbys. Instead, this ex-SSW GP40-2 was added to the south end, allowing the #405 to lead north, and then we could do 59mph south and still get photo stops.

Description:  Our power for the southbound leg was this GP40-2 of obvious ex-SP/SSW heritage, with remnants of the old SP light package visible where they were blocked off. This was taken while sitting in the hole at Middlebury to wait for the Ethan Allen Express to go by.

Description:  The #405 waits on the northbound end to take us to Burlington. Originally the trip called for #405 to lead both ways, but the 25mph restriction the engine, along with the required 2 hour wait at Middlebury made it unfeasible.
