Wednesday, 7-12-17, the northbound NECR 611 crew dropped the 4301 in Brattleboro, VT to be used on the southbound the next day since they wouldn't have enough power without it. In this set of photos, it is seen leading for it's last time ever in P&W livery, before getting the Genesee & Wyoming's "Candy Corn" orange, yellow, and black dip.
