Clear of the tourist packed Wiscasset, F17 crosses through one of the marshes lining the Sheepscott River as they head west for Brunswick. It's still pretty surreal seeing Canadian Pacific operating the Rockland Branch, but the red GP20ECO looks pretty good running along the scenic line.
Canadian Pacific's F17 local eases through downtown Wiscasset on a warm morning, paralleling the Sheepscott River as they roll along the town waterfront. I've been wanting to shoot CP on the Rockland Branch, but the single car trains they normally run aren't especially appealing, so when I head this was running with cement traffic it was worth making the drive down, even for just a couple shots.
Seen crossing the Mill River in Thomaston, Maine, Canadian Pacific's F17 local is heading west to Brunswick with thirteen cars. About ten minutes prior to the picture, dense fog and clouds had completely obscured the sun, which can be rather difficult in the morning on the Rockland Branch, but as can be expected, the sun burned through it just minutes before the train arrived, creating some challenging lighting conditions.
The Supermarine Seafire is a naval version of the Supermarine Spitfire adapted for operation from aircraft carriers. It was analogous in concept to the Hawker Sea Hurricane, a navalised version of the Spitfire's stablemate, the Hawker Hurricane.
