BLW/ZT Preiview - 1950's Conn River Passenger Pack

[rfranzosa]

Hi All,

I am happy to announce my first 'post retirement' set, a large passenger pack for Paul Charland's Conn River route. I will attempt to create all of the passenger trains that traveled the route between Brattleboro, VT, Bellows Falls and White River Junction, VT in the summer of July 1956 timetable.

Using information from PRR, New Haven, Boston & Maine, Central Vermont and Canadian Pacific historical societies, the pack will have as accurate a set of consists as I can make for:

Northbound:
#73 "Dartmouth"
#7051
#77 "Day White Mountains"/"North Wind"
#717/7055 "Ascutney"
#5507/5509/5555 "Cheshire"
#727 "Valley Express"
#79/7059 "Connecticut Yankee"
#733 "Montrealer"
#71 "Night White Mountains"

Southbound:
#732 "Washintonian"
#78/708
#5506/5556 "Cheshire"
#73/702 "Day White Mountains"
#74 "Connecticut Yankee"/"North Wind"
#728/760 "Overnighter"
#76 "Night White Mountains"

This pack includes passenger equipment (heavy weight and lightweight) from PRR, NYC, CN, B&M, CV, CP, New Haven and Pullman, most not offered in previous packs.

I can't predict when this will be completed, but I'll keep you posted!

Thanks!

Rick
