Previously a mecca for steam enthusiasts, this scene shows a previous station, later replaced. Not much of this scene remains, though through tracks still run in three of the four directions out of BF and both Green Mountain and Amtrak offer passenger service.http://cgi.ebay.com/Photo-BELLOWS-FALLS ... ewItemAlso, the BF Rutland coal chute and water tank. Remember when books like this, plus Railroad and Trains magazines were the only source of RR information we had?http://cgi.ebay.com/Railroad-Photo-Album-0-6-0-Steam-Locomotives-Rutland_W0QQitemZ6579303833QQcategoryZ74725QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Is the current BF station an original -but demied piece of the BF station in that postcard?

I seem to recall reading that this building burned, but I don't know if the present building is just the lower half with a new roof or not. F. Nelson Blount kept the restaurant open for a time after CV/B&M passenger service ended in 1966, but it was closed when I first visited in 1968. The nearby freight house was there until burned for practice by local firemen about 1973 or so.
