MEC BR-4 U25B #234 Westbound Bowdoinham (Lower Road) 12-04-82
When the Maine Central bought the U25B's from the bankruptcy estate of the Rock Island the basically paid scrap value for them. The Maine Central bought 14 units placing 9 into service and the other 5 being a parts source. I remember them as being pretty reliable. Here BR-4 with a trio of U25B's is about to hit Brown's Point Crossing in Bowdoinham on the now unused section of the Lower Road.
