Hi all
I am writing up an article for the 470 railroad club, on one of the Steamtown railfan weekends, from Oct 1980. At that time I was taking slides and ran out of film at Summit, Vt on the trip.
The train was pulled by CPR # 1293 & 1246, along with seven pieces of equipment, which consisted of a baggage car, combine, and five coaches.
OK, this is the part I don't remember, at Summit, Vt, there was no way to turn the train, they was only a passing siding. This is the part I hope someone can answer, Did Steamtown run tender first all the way back to Riverside, with both locomotives????? Or did the Green Mountain Railroad have diesels waiting to pull the train back to Riverside? ????.
