Plowing the Right-of-Way

We pulled out our historic Hoosac Tunnel & Wilmington snow plow for the second time ever this week, to clean up the 2' of snow that storm Colbie dropped in Essex and along the CT River in preparation for our Eagle Flyer excursions, Feb 14-16.

We were fortunate to have two media outlets come along for the ride, and the results are in!

Much thanks to the Valley Railroad crew for their hard work and for inviting the media along - providing Connecticut residents with a behind the scenes look at vintage railroad equipment and operations.
