Green; What is more green than a Green Mountain locomotive in the Green Mountain State. Cully did a nice job with the pic and, yes, its a natural for my pick as an aficionado of hills of Nathan Hale. The pic is one of several with green locomotives but the only one with green alone instead of lashed up.
