Maine Central Iterations
Three different paint schemes of the Maine Central, in order of appearance. I don't think the two newer paint jobs are that far apart in age since the Pan Am branding was very new at that time. I certainly don't have many photos of either scheme that clean. Of course, it wouldn't take too long for paint weathering and taggers to change their character. Heck, some tagger had already put a small tag on the PAR car.
In the process of examining the cars, I noticed that the bridge changes truss designs in the middle of the photo. I don't have any handy info to explain it but my first guess is that the left section, a newer design, is the result of an upgrade or flood replacement.
