MEC 1204 |
| Description: |
MEC had four of these 2-6-6-2s. I understand they were bought for helper service on the mountain division but did work elsewhere on the MEC, most likely between Portland and Waterville. It looks like the photographer was on a flat car for this scene. Originally from the Allen collection. Built by Alco at Schnectady it was formally B&M #1294 (renumbered to B&M 3003) built in November of 1910 and scrapped November of 1929. Builders number 48651. No date with this photo. /DL |

MEC 1204 |
| Description: |
I’ve ended up with two copies of this photograph over the years, one says it was taken at Portland the other in Waterville. If the October 1929 date is correct this was taken just a month before this locomotive was scrapped according to RR History. MEC had 4 of these 2-6-6-2s. I understand they were bought for helper service on the mountain division but did work elsewhere on the MEC most likely between Portland and Waterville. I don’t think they ever went to Bangor. Built by Alco at Schnectady it was formally B&M #1294 (renumbered to B&M 3003) built in November of 1910 and scrapped November of 1929. Builders number 48651. /DL |
