            Central Vermont U-1-a class 4-8-2 Mountain 601, is seen at station platform and is about ready to depart crossing a diamond with its passenger train # 332, ca late 1930's.  This class of light Mountain locomotives has a 210 psi boiler pressure with 73 inch drivers and produces 46,300 lbs of starting tractive effort.  The CV had four of these Mountain steam locomotives and they often were used on through trains and regularly led the "The Ambassador", "The Montrealer", "The New Englander" and "The Washingtonian".  The fellow with the heavy coat on by the station building indicates that it must be pretty cold outside at this time.
