The Maine Central operated 2 thru freights a day between Rigby and Bangor in each direction. RB-1 with a trio of U18B's is passing through Cumberland Center and will operate via the Back Road. The tanks cars that are behind the box are loaded with Bunker C for the paper mills in Berlin New Hampshire and will be set out at Danville Jct for movement on CN freight No 393. Today the U18B's are no more nor is the Maine Central, the paper mill in Berlin has been torn down and the CN no longer operates the Berlin Sub, yup ETTS.
