White River Division's - Glory Days

This is how I would have envisioned Glory Days if it was held on the White River Division in later years.

on the
White River Division

Each September White River Jct. Vermont hosts a festival called Glory Days. 2013 was the 21st year. It is a mix of food, fun for kids, music and railway displays. An operating passenger train is also included giving one rides north out of town. Well when Peter and I were in the process of shooting a contemporary display of engines on the White River Division I decided to hold my own Glory Days as would have been seen 30-40 years ago on my line...George Dutka

A pair of Guilford engines are posed for the local railfan...Oh I think that is me.
To the far right the Central Vermont shows off a nice clean looking S-4.  No. 8081 is a factory painted Atlas offering that I added numerous details to. A BAR geep is seen tucked in behind the WRJ station. Looking a little out of place it is actually in town on loan and adds to the colorful display.
These two Maine Central U25B`s are seen in two different paint schemes. They sure look good out front of the station. On the prototype these MEC engines did on occasion call on White River Junction.
