Vermont Theme photo week - Freshly mowed fields

In keeping with the opening photo theme of Vermont, here's CP Rail train 904 rolling south past freshly mowed hayfields in Barton, VT.

Hi Neil, you nailed that scene at Barton. Wow!

Love the freshly cut hayfield details...right down to the light/dark patterns made by the haying equipment traveling in different directions across the field.

Having grown up a farm kid, I love that bale throw wagon. May I ask what you used for the frame/chassis? Would love to see a few more pics and learn more details about it!

Thanks,

Jack    

@JD. Hill

Thanks Jack,

The bale throw wagon was built by a friend of mine, Randy LaFramboise, also a farmer that grew up in Vermont.  I don't know what he used for a base, but it's soft white metal, the rest is made from styrene strips.  Randy is a master at scratchbuilding and I was thankful he offered to build it for me, literally in a week.  Here's a couple pictures that might help.

Thanks Neil!

Thanks for the additional photos and details Neil!

Clarendon & Pittsford #500 passing the Center Rutland Station.  The station was built by my friend Mike Evans.

The station served both the Rutland on the back side and the D&H  as viewed.  

The Clarendon & Pittsford Railroad was owned by the Vermont Marble Co.
