MEC 115 |
| Description: |
I suspect this scene is in the scrap line at Waterville althought thats just a guess. RR History 152 says #115 was origionally Washington County Number 8 and was renumbered to #35 in April 1907. Then renumbered in 1911 by MEC to #115, Class G-3. A Brooks product (serial #2947) it was built in April of 1898, rebuilt by MEC Sept 1924 and scrapped in August of 1935. No location, date or photographer info with this old print... /DL |

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 |
