Was this a Wild Goose Chase?

The locomotive on the front of this post card has the lettering that says it belongs to the Lamoille Valley Railroad (LVR). It is an Alco RS11, Number

3612. The back of the post card says that it is crossing the Ammonoosic River in Bath, New Hampshire. Here comes the Wild Goose Chase: The Lamoille Valley Railroad operates LVR as an affiliate of the New Hampshire & Vermont Rrailroad. It is running on former Boston & Maine trackage. The locomotive was previously owned by the Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific Railroad before it was sold to the Vermont Shortline Railroad. I tried to find a descrption of the LVR on line. Here is all that I could find that might fit the bill: It is from our friends at Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Johnsbury_and_Lamoille_County_Railroad HOWEVER.... I am not sure they this article talks about this railroad??? Here it is:The St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad (StJ&LC) was a railroad located in northern Vermont. It provided service to rural parts of the state for over a century, until track deterioration and flood damage made the line unusable and uneconomical to repair, which forced the line to close in 1995. The railroad began construction in December 1869 as part of the Vermont Division of the Portland and Ogdensburg Railway to connect the Great Lakes with Portland, Maine. It was completed on July 17, 1877, with Governor Horace Fairbanks driving in the silver spike in Fletcher. The Vermont Division was extended to Rouses Point in 1883, allowing it to connect to the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain Railroad and provide a direct connection to the Great Lakes.[1] The eastern end of the Vermont Division was leased to the Maine Central Railroad in 1912, and the remainder of the line became a subsidiary of the Boston and Maine Railroad. The Boston & Maine operated their segment as the St. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain Railroad after 1925. This segment was reorganized as the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad in 1948.[2] Passenger service ended in 1956. Trucks had taken all of the milk traffic by 1961, but bridge line traffic had increased six-fold following the 1953 dissolution of Maine Central's joint operating agreement with Boston and Maine Railroad. However, light-duty rail and covered bridges prevented the line from accepting new heavier "incentive" freight car loadings. The covered bridges were replaced or reinforced so worn out light diesel locomotives could be replaced by larger locomotives; but track conditions deteriorated under the heavier loads.[3] The State of Vermont purchased the line in 1973. The line was then operated by Morrison-Knudsen as the Vermont Northern Railroad for a time. In 1978, local shippers took over the operation and it became the Lamoille Valley Railroad. In 1989, the line was leased to a Florida company and was operated by them until major flooding in 1995 and 1997 damaged the line so much that it was not profitable to repair the track. In 2002, the state of Vermont started converting the 96-mile route into a recreational trail and created the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail.

Here is the back of the post card. It tells us that the photo was taken by Brian Fay. It is also part of the confusion.
