Here's a view of Central Vermont Alco RS-11 #3611 in 1981 in St. Albans, Vt. Showing off her Larsen Green colors:
Back in the mid-1990s I told Alan that I would be traveling to an NMRA meet in southwestern Virginia - and on the way home we planned to do some railfanning in western Virginia.
"That's perfect!" he exclaimed - "can you stop by the Winchester and Western and see if you can find one of the CV RS-11s that ended up there."
I did, and took some photos and sent them to Alan. We'd heard the engine was "a little rough" from some of the local guys. They weren't kidding! the overcast, gray day (in April, not unlike the weather in Virginia this week!) provided the appropriate somber background.
Wondering if anyone wants to chop up a Rapido RS-11 to look like this!
