We continue our trip up the Richford Branch with the location many consider the scenic highlight of the line - the bridge crossing the Missisquoi River in Sheldon Junction. This is milepost 10.11 on the line, measured from St. Albans. The word "Junction" in the name gives a hint as to the other key element of this scene, the CV's crossing with the St. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain RR, Vermont's famed "Covered Bridge" railroad. Again, this map was drawn using photos, valuation maps, and the railroad's engineering department drawings. (Click on the map to enlarge it.
The two spurs serving the creamery from different directions is a great little piece of engineering and would be fun to model - as would the angled station and water tank at the diamond. - Trevor (Port Rowan in 1:64)
Good afternoon! I know this is an older post, but maybe you'll see this comment. I'm wondering if the map above is based on an actual map, and if so, could you share it? I'm doing some research on this area. Thank you!
