CV 4925, 4557 DW&P 3609 and CV 4548 at St. Albans on May 22, 1966.

The CV follows the Chicopee River for a distance out of Palmer. The road is on the other side of the valley. I was able to get this shot from a clear spot, getting this panoramic view of the valley and the six units on train 562.

Train 562 has left the Palmer yard and is heading south to a block swap at Monson

A set of six GP 9s leads train 562 south under Stafford Hollow Rd in Monson Mass. This was typical power for that era.

CV 4548 at Battle Creek

The 4548 south swings {hrough the curve at West Willington, MP 47. This was one of the sites for photo runby's by CN 6218 on fan trips back in the late 1960's.

CV 4548 south is about to duck under Rt. 32 a couple miles south of Stafford Springs. Rt. 32 follows the CV faiKly closely from Palmer to New London.

Continuing his southward trek, the 4548 is about to enter Stafford, CT-, just a couple hundred feet south of the Rt. 32 crossing at State Line.

The 4548 has some switching to do in Palmer yard before continuing his southward journey.

CV extra 4548 south passing Barrett's Junction. The track swinging of to the right is the Quaboag Transfer spur, which is itself a remnant of the old Boston & Albany Athol branch, which crossed the CV at this point.
