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.
