In early July 2023, Vermont was hit with catastrophic flooding as the skies poured feet of rain across the state. Railroad washouts were widespread, but none were as dramatic, as challenging, or as important as the Green Mountain Railroad's devastating washout in Ludlow, VT. Rails were left suspended a hundred feet in the air... but in just a few short weeks, the joint effort of Vermont Rail System and the state of Vermont had the line fully restored. However, the work is far from over, and I'm documenting Green Mountain Extra working the "rock train" on August 22nd, 2023.
