Visitor Comments about this Photo:Neat picture! I assume that's a speed limit sign on the right - hard to believe that max speed heading south through the tunnel and across Mill St is 55mph for passenger trains! Of course after making the station stop at BF, it will take a fair distance for the southbound Vermonter to attain that speed. Posted by John Barlow on 2018-09-29 05:56:13 The southbound Vermonter left Bellows Falls quite slowly; more like 10 mph than 55 mph. Perhaps the engineer did not believe that sign either. I was a bit shocked at the 55 mph limit as well when I saw this sign. Given the roller coaster ride from the lowered tunnel floor to the unlowerable bridge over the Bellows Falls Canal, it would be quite an adventure to pass thru at anything close to 55 mph, I would think.
