On the final day of matched Vermont Railway power on the Washington County's Connecticut River Division, train NPWJ is enroute from Newport to White River Junction, Vermont behind GP40-2 303 and GP40-2 307. The 303 will be swapped out for CLP GP40-2 306 upon arrival in White River, ending a week-long pairing of Vermont Railway units for Conn River Division. Heading south along the right Northeast Kingdom farmland, the NPWJ charges through long deactivated Canadian Pacific signals.
