The Train to Somewhere



Returned to White River Junction for a quick revisit. Stopped by Windsor to cross the famous covered bridge into New Hampshire, and then right back through it again to get back to Vermont, and on the highway to the next town. There's not much to do but get take out food. So we found a BBQ place, loaded up on some pulled pork, and pulled into the Amtrak Station Parking lot to consume our bounty. Trains are running (only 2 Amtraks a day) although freights often run at various hours. 
In the Township of Hartford, VT: White River Junction is what Willimantic, CT is to Wyndham.

   
So here's this 150+ year old train sitting here. I go check it out.


There's barely a soul in this town as far as traffic (there never was) and the Amtrak Station is closed for the day. But the Restaurants are still working hard to deliver. I knew of a BBQ place just down the street from the Hotel Coolidge, and called them from the parking lot to order. I had a nice view of the hotel I stayed at nearly 4 years ago.




When I was trying to figure out where my life was going.


This thing was just sitting for the public to look at, stairs and no signs saying do not enter, so I took a quick look and some pictures. We finished our BBQ and drove back home.
