The Whitehall Flyer on the Vermont Rail System | Green Mountain 405
The Mass Bay RRE and Amherst Railway Society joined forces to charter the ‘Whitehall Flyer’ excursion over the Vermont Rail System between Bellows Falls, Vermont and Whitehall, New York.
The trip started out in Bellows Falls with the first scene of the consist crossing the stone arch bridge over the Connecticut River on its way to pick up passengers. The train headed north over the Green Mountain Route on VTR’s Bellows Falls Subdivision.
At Rutland VTR 201 was added to the rear of the consist and the train headed east over the Clarendon & Pittsford Mainline Subdivision to Whitehall. At Whitehall the crew swapped ends to head back to Rutland. Note that the excursion did not enter the CPKC trackage. Unfortunately I did not end up filming any of the trip between Rutland and Whitehall.
Arriving back in Rutland the 201 was taken off and the 405 and 209 were wyed so that 405 could lead back south to Bellows Falls. The last scene shows the excursion crossing the diamond over the New England Central Railroad and the Vermont Rail System. Unfortunately for us the searchlight signals never lit.
The consist used in this excursions consisted of passenger cars from the railroads ‘green fleet’ as well as business car 4 the Macintyre. Locomotives used was ALCO RS-1 GMRC 405, VTR 201, and VTR 209. This was the first excursion hosted by the Mass Bay RRE over the line since 2004 and the first excursion over VTR trackage since 2019.
Thanks for watching!
