Route to Quebec-4: Millinocket

It's going to be another "Grab-a-Box" week. This box is loaded with grab shots that I took on my to the Roberval & Saguenay Railway in August of 1988. We had went via Maine.

After shooting the morning B&ML excursion, it was time to move north.

Brownville Jct. had nothing to show, but upon arrival at Millinocket, ME the Bangor & Aroostock was polishing the rails. This switch job was working the paper mill. The headman walks in front lining things up as needed while keeping the train in motion. I have other shots here that were pulled from the box for showing and I hope to come across them soon. I really enjoyed the one night stand I had with the BAR and wish I had returned for more loving, but by time I experienced them, the rail industry in Maine would soon be in turmoil.

Here is a previous posting from this day.
