MEC Maine Central VB-2 GP38 #258 Westbound, North Lincoln, ME 01-00-76

VB-2 originated in Vanceboro earlier in the morning doing what local work on the Joint Track still in the Maine Central account returning to home rails at Keag.

The pulp on the pin came out of Keag and will go to the IP mill at Rileys, behind the pulp is wood chips picked up at Giddings going to Great Works. Track speed back then was 35 mph so it was always a spirited chase. Today the track remains in place max speed 10 mph and traffic is being handled by the CMQ from Brownville Jct to Northern Main Jct.Doubt that this will last once the CP takes over.
