MAINE CENTRAL SWITCHER 333 WAITS FOR TRAIN #RB-3'S POWER TO CLEAR - BANGOR, MAINE - SEPTEMBER 28, 1981
Working Bangor yard for "Switcher Sunday", we see SW-7 333 waiting in the clear for the power off of the just arrived #RB-3 to roll past. Two U-18B's and an RS-11 had just brought in the nighttime train from Portland, and will be heading over to the roundhouse for servicing. Hard to see in this but on the original you can see the hogger wearing an MEC green jacket and an MEC yellow and green cap - company pride! Don't recall what was happening with the MofW worker looking to lube something, but it seems a bit scary now that I look at this picture. But I might add, there is a lot going on this picture and it really reminds me of when train yards were a "happening" railroading type of place.
