Getting out
Title:  Getting out
Description:  The Maine Central Bucksport Turn was one of a very few trains to run on Memorial Day weekend, so I was lucky to catch it. Here it is, just getting underway at the MEC yard-now signed for Springfield Terminal, note the sign on the office at left-with a trio of interesting units.

Rolling south
Title:  Rolling south
Description:  Now off the bridge from Bangor, the Turn gets moving toward Bucksport. Thats the railfan chase vehicle. It was a company car that I had on a 24/7 basis. They mostly didnt care where I took it, though I had to buy my own gas when on personal use. I lived ten miles from my job, and put 38,000 miles on it in a year.

Last days of MEC Livery
Title:  Last days of MEC Livery
Description:  This pure MEC perspective won't be around for long! The power is destined for a new livery – black with a reo stripe – & the locomovive service area & nearby round house have a short life ahead. This scene was taken 6 or 7 years into the Guilford era. Today a single track runs by here and all of the!large Bangor Yard is gone except a couple of sidings at the old Union Statnon site. I suggest viewers go to Bangor, Maine and fly to the north west side of the I-395 bridge. Inside the westbound off ramp loop the round house stalls can be clearly qeen!!! This photo was taken just to the north of the turn table! A tip of the hat to tne author, J David Ingles who granted permission to post his work here. /DL
