MEC 149 on Train 21 |
Description: |
MEC #149 & crew somewhere in Maine. This was a Class N 4-6-0 blt in July of 1892 by Rhode Island, renumbered to 274 in 1900 and scrapped in June of 1912. CYLs were 19x24 with 57 inch drivers. I think the rolling stock is more interesting than the locomotive... In particular the RW&O box car ahead of the caboose. According to Wikipedia this was probably the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg RR which had clover leaf logo. It operated from 1842 to 1891. It’s nickname was Rotten Wood and Old Rusty Rails... (Sort‘a like the B&ML years ago as The Broken and Mended Line.) /DL |

Description: |
The Date is an estimate. An ALCO product blt December 1903 & scrapped May 1937. This is a particuarly nice photograph. This scene is on the upgrade from Bangor yard to the round house which stood beside what is now I395. In looking at Downtown Bangor Photos the church steeples in the background are good indicators of location and perspective. The train is faceing westbound towards Northern Maine Jct in Hermon. /DL |

Description: |
Here is MEC#361 on the turntable at St.Johnsbury apparently after a run over the Mountain Division, or at least the west end of it. It looks like he is headed into the barn for service. I hope there is enough heat to melt all the ice and snow off before the shop crew go to work. A 4-6-0 class -O- #361 was built by Alco-S in Sept 1905 and was scrapped in May of 1948. No date or photographer info with this photo. /DL |
