Remarks & Notes |
The year is 1957 and the operator at White River Junction, Vermont is passing up orders to an arriving Boston & Maine UJ-2 train at 12:30 a.m. - the nightly except Sunday Berlin, NH to White River Junction train that normally arrived at this time. The UJ-2 tonight has a brand new EMD GP9 #77 leading the way, while the operator must be making good money as he has his new '57 Chevy along to work on this particular night. The scene was actually made at the 22nd Annual Glory Days of the Railroad Festival in White River Junction with Pan Am Heritage GP9 #77 and a gracious community member who is part of the local Carz group. Ironically both the GP9 and the car are GM products built in 1957!
