| Title: |
Modernization sucks |
| Description: |
In the early days of railroading, (exact date unknown) this line was built to connect to the Mountain Branch of the MEC. It was built so traffic wasn't all crammed through one connecting line. In the 1950s, Maine decided to biuld a highway across were the rails were. The line was still heavily used. There was a lot of induatries still wanting MEC's (then Portland Terminal) business. In 1980, the Maine Central was purchased by Guilford Trainsportation Industries. This was turned into a branchline. Today, the only customer is Geogia Pacific about a mile away from where this photo was taken. The "branchline" has been detireorating ever since Guilford bought the Maine Central. Track speed is a woping 5 MPH. Compared to MEC's 30 MPH 25 years ago. |

The Mainline |
| Description: |
Big dips in the tracks has track speed as low as 10 MPH. Here, the speed limit is 25 MPH. Plus, the grade doesn't help any for track conditions. Locomotives regularly need to apply sand to the rail to help climb the grade. |

I was walking trackside waiting for a train and I saw this. It was purched on a signal tower near CPF 192. I wonder who put it up there. Maybe it was Uncle Sam!***NOTE: Taken with permission!*** |
