| Description: |
A freight off the Lower Road heads for the yard at Brunswick Maine in August 1978. Soon it will be impossible to photograph from this angle as Maine has begun construction of a multi-modal station to service a desired extension of Amtrak service up from Portland where I am standing. The original MEC station was behind the train. Date is approximate. |

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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
