GMTX 1505 on the Tilton / Northfield Town Line Here was the New England Southern Crew taking GMTX 1505 and an empty tank south to Concord. While white tank cars have been a normal sighting for many years, this tank car has undergone repairs by owner GATX and new black paint. We have seen this same exact car many times over the years, with both dirty white paint and a fair amount of graffiti on it.
The private Tilton School is behind the train set, up on the hill. The legendary Tilton House of Pizza is just a short walk from here, on Tilton's Main Street. Also we'll give a shameless plug to Freedom Dumpster, a local dumpster rental company where time and timing worked out for them to be in this picture.
After doing a stop and protect at Main, Park, and Prospect Streets in Tilton, the NEGS Crew passed over the southernmost of three nearby spans that cross the Winnipesaukee River bordering Tilton and Northfield. The former Northfield Freight House and small yard are behind me, where many cabooses and other rail cars are stored.
Always great to see the NEGS Crew take care of business !
