BAR Bangor & Aroostook Plow Extra GP38 #83 East Millinocket, Me 2-14-77
The winter of 76-77 was a hard here in Maine, plows on Maine's railroads were run more often than in years past certainly blowing the Engineering Department's budget for snow removal. Today a plow and spreader are seen in East Millinocket in the background on the left the former station, now used by the crews and mow and on the right oil is seen being heated for the paper mill in the background. Sadly the mill is now closed, likely for good, the BAR is no more and if the mill is torn down as suspected the end of the East Millinocket branch may be in the not to distant future.
