Here we are in Montpelier, Vermont, which is the state capital of Vermont. Here, we see WACR 804, which is an excursion train that was chartered by the Mass Bay RRE club. Today's consist is Green Mountain GP9R 804 (hence the symbol name WACR 804), and 2 old Green Mountain coaches; 1312 (right behind the engine), and 1323 bringing up the markers. From here, the engine does a reverse move to just about end of running track (MP 0.0), and then heads south for Barre, which is about six and a half miles away. As a side note, the 804 was built in 1955 as N&W 13, and was then rebuilt in 1978 into a GP9R, where it had its high hood lowered on the short hood, and was converted into a short hood forward engine. However, the control stand is still set up on the long hood forward side of the cab. Enjoy the sound of the idling of the 567C. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on April 4th, 2009.
