Finally, just before leaving Brattleboro, I heard an EOT on my scanner and got to the tracks just on time to catch a short local train heading North on the NECR tracks in town.
Brattleboro, Vermont

2 MEC engines in Guilford paint, a high-nose GP40 and a low-nose GP40, head North down the NECR line through Brattleboro sounding their horn. The horn sounds a little bit like a bicycle horn, though, and not very assertive.
