A lot has changed since I chased this eastbound New Brunswick Southern Railway train in early September of 2009. At the time NBSR operated the former CPR mainline from Saint John, New Brunswick to Brownville Junction, Maine, a branch from McAdam to Saint Stephen/Milltown and terminal trackage in Saint John. Six years later the railway, rebranded as New Brunswick & Maine Railways has become a significant player in the Northern New England and Maritime Canada railway scene. Part of the privately owned J.D. Irving Limited group of companies, NBM Railways now operates over an expanded system encorporating additional leased former BAR/MMA trackage, owned by State of Maine, and trackage rights over CMQ to reach the State owned portion of the NBM system. Unfortunately the expanded operations and increased business has brought with it many leased locomotives ending (for now) the era of all green painted locomotives.
