Across The Androscoggin
This was the consolation prize for my trip today. We had planned on going to Scarborough to shoot POAY leaving town with what we thought would be a painted leader. We soon found out a rather sad looking patched GE (The only visible non-painted unit in all of Rigby, of course) would be leading the train. As we were waiting to shoot it anyway out of boredom, we heard PORU calling on the radio to go East. The decision was made to go up to Lewiston for the iconic shot over the Great Falls of the Androscoggin River. After a bit of a wait, the train came over the bridge at track speed. As a Maine Central buff, this location has been on my list and with the sale of the railroad occurring, I am glad we made the effort.
