Taking advantage of a perfectly clear evening I drove up to the Portland area after work hoping to get a couple shots. First up was POED in Scarborough then I headed to South Portland to wait for RUPO to arrive. Unfortunately the dreaded MEC 383 (patched GATX paint) was the middle unit which necessitated setting up for a straight on telephoto. The train has just hit land on the South Portland side of the Fore River and is passing CPF 198, affectionately known as the "oil plant". In roughly a mile the train will be at Tower PT at the east end of Rigby Yard.
