#155 in the Upper Yard
Title:  #155 in the Upper Yard
Description:  The back of this old print simply states that L.B.W. took the photo sometime in 1919 in the Upper Yard at Lewiston. If Ive decoded RR History #152 correctly this locomotive was built by ALCO in August on 1902 and rebuilt in 1913 then scrapped in April 1937. This is the 2nd 155 in the MEC Steam Roster, the 1st being a 2-6-0. /DL

MEC 173 working the passenger yard
Title:  MEC 173 working the passenger yard
Description:  From the back of the print....: - July 30 1910 Maine Central Switcher #173 at Bangor, Maine - The author unknown. This is an interesting photo. It it taken from the passenger yard looking east and shows a hybrid highway bridge. It is a wood covered bridge on the Bangor side and through truss steel on the Brewer side. If I’ve connected the dots properly the covered bridge on the Brewer side washed out in the flood of 1909. The MEC Calais Branch RR Bridge, which is still in service, can be seen under the covered bridge behind the tender. This 0-6-0 #173 is MEC’s first with that number. It began life as #6 and was renumbered #173 in 1900, then renumbered #183 (the 2nd #183) in 1920, AND then yet again renumbered to #157 in 1920. A Schenectady product built in Sept 1894, rebuilt in 1915 and finally scrapped in Feb 1935. As always a tip of the hat to William D Edson for navagating thru the history of MEC locomotives and to the R&LHS for publishing his account. /DL
