MEC SR-2 WB Farmingdale, ME 01-78
With a small train today SR-2 with Engineer Tom Kennedy rolls through Farmingdale and by Brown's Island as they follow the Kennebec River for approximately another 10 miles. The crews days started earlier that morning reporting onduty at Rigby Yard for the round trip to Augusta on the Maine Central Lower Road.
Today this line has been essentially abandoned and now owned by the State with a walking trail located between Augusta and Gardiner. I doubt that scenes like this will ever be seen again.
