| CV 1509 and 1510 team up to pull a cut of cars out of the St. Albans
yard on July 16, 1986. Keeping it all in the family, the first car up
in the consist is bulkhead flat DWC 605209. |

My
one and only visit to the Central Vermont at St. Albans, Vermont,
occurred on July 16, 1986. Two of the locomotive models I encountered
on that occasion are featured in today's post. CV 1509 and 1510,
railroad class GR-12j, were SW-1200 units built 4/57 by EMD for the
Grand Trunk Western. CV 3613, class MR-18a, was an RS-11 built by ALCO
in 9/56 for Duluth Winnipeg and Pacific.

| Here is one for the modellers. Just like the real railroads, we all
have at least one locomotive that we just can't get to run properly.
Apply a little weathering, remove the battery box covers, place on a
shop truck, and voila - a nice little static mini scene! |
It is interesting to see that the front power truck on 3613 has been removed for repair and replaced by a freight car truck.
