Amtrak in Vermont: Summer to Fall Foliage

Order: Reorder
Duration: 10:00
Updated: 13 Oct 2013

September through October is a period of transition of the seasons and color of the leaves, but daily run of the Vermonter is matched by the same stroke of the watch each day. This video captures the southbound Vermonter, as well as one run of the Ethan Allen departing on its voyage, through the changing leaves in the Green Mountains of central Vermont. While most Amtrak trains look the same across the country, the uniqueness of its passing in Vermont is defined by the horn echo that channels through the valley walls creating a poetic symphony of the natural landscape. In 2013, the colors were the best at peak as they had been in years. Unfortunately, most of the good array of colors does not happen trackside, but I believe there are two shots in here that capture the foliage well. August 24: The southbound Vermonter crosses the Dog River and Route 12 shortly after departing the station at Montpelier Junction, already making its way to track speed (currently 59 MPH in dark territory). 0:00 - 57 - Vermonter - St. Albans, VT - Washington, D.C. Amtrak P42DC 104 August 25: After cresting the grade to Roxbury, the town that gives the subdivision its name (NECR Roxbury Subdivision), the Vermonter rolls across the Roxbury flat. 0:35 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 111 September 15: On a sunny morning, the Vemonter flies by a close camera at the straightaway at Milepost 67. 1:10 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 167 September 27: The Ethan Allen has just departed Rutland early in the morning, crossing Otter Creek in Center Rutland. 1:50 - 290 - Ethan Allen - Rutland, VT - New York City Amtrak P32AC-DM 700 September 29: At the base of Camels Hump, the Central Vermont railway makes one of several crossings of the Winooski River. I took some time to capture extra footage of the bridge and fog lifting off the river because the scene is too wide to capture in one frame. 3:00 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 4 October 1: The colors are passing peak at the summit of the Roxbury Sub, seen here as the Vermonter rolls across the Roxbury Flat along Route 12A south of the town of Roxbury. 4:30 - 55 - (Weekday Symbol) Amtrak P42DC 4 October 3: A couple of days later, the same locomotive in the cycle is seen leading the train through an explosion of colors on the Green Mountains along the Third Branch of the White River. 5:45 - 55 Amtrak P42DC 4 October 10: In the middle of the woods along the Dog River, the Vermonter sneaks past the waning foliage. 7:00 - 55 Amtrak P42DC 115 October 12: The Vermonter speeds by Norwich University with bells from the campus bell tower playing in the distance. 7:45 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 115 October 13: With the leaves gone except for the evergreens, the Vermonter passes Mud Pond in Roxbury. 8:30 - 57 Amtrak P42DC 108 Thanks for watching!
