Red Barns at Moosehead
The Central Maine & Quebec's Job 2 hustles east at the east end of their Moosehead siding, with a trio of SD40-2Fs and a lone GP35u interloper. Time was quickly running out for the Red Barns at this point, as the railroad had already finalized their plans to repaint them, and in a few weeks, the first would be completed, with the others quickly being painted after. Note the odd reversed stripes on the 9020's door... it's hard to imagine how they managed to get the stripes on it backwards. The train today has about 70 cars, not a bad train by any means, but unfortunately a result of only running three days a week (at the time). Fortunately, they've resumed running five days a week, and traffic is picking up for the CMQ; hopefully they can make something out of the Moosehead where the previous two owners have failed.
