DR-6 Curtis Corner, North Leeds, ME 1-14-82
DR-6 with a pairs of U25B's and a GP-7 are rolling through Curtis Corner in North Leeds. Back in 1982 track speed was 40 mph on much of the mainline but due to the weight of the U25's they were restricted to 25 mph at some locations today the entire line is 10 mph and if the 2 remaining paper mills on the line shut down this line will likely be a prime candidate for abandonment on a at least a portion of the line.
