The Milk Train

One of my first experiments with shutter speed, f-stops and panning, not to mention slow color film. The milk train was a second class train on the Fitchburg Division that was on a regular schedule so you could always count on seeing it after school and before dinner around 4PM I think. As seen on this day it often had old maroon F-units like this F-2 shown here in Belmont.

Wow were you lucky to see and capture this one!!! Would it have originated in bellows falls and travelled through winchendon? Just a couple of miles away from where I’m sitting now. How fast would it have been zooming by you??
