Last days of MEC Livery |
Description: |
This pure MEC perspective won't be around for long! The power is destined for a new livery – black with a red stripe – & the locomotive service area & nearby round house have a short life ahead. This scene was taken 6 or 7 years into the Guilford era. Today a single track runs by here and all of the large Bangor Yard is gone except a couple of sidings at the old Union Station site. I suggest viewers go to Bangor, Maine and fly to the north west side of the I-395 bridge. Inside the westbound off ramp loop the round house stalls can be clearly seen!!! This photo was taken just to the north of the turn table! A tip of the hat to the author, J David Ingles who granted permission to post his work here. /DL |

Freight Yard |
Description: |
This is a contempoary shot from the middle of the old MEC Freight Yard looking east (north). Today Bangor has turned this into a river side park, a project that was just getting underway when this photograph was taken. The white sign under 'Yard Limit' says 'BANGOR' on a post beside what looks like part of an old track scale. /DL |

Passenger Yard looking westbound |
Description: |
A contemporary look at the former passenger yard. This shot is from the new Penobscot River Bridge looking south & taken near sunrise on a slow Summer Sunday morning. The camera is quite close to where the north end of the passenger car shed roof once was. Although not visible in this perspective close inspection reveals a string of cement foundation supports running parallel with the pavement under the trash containers. Union Station was to the right beside the switches. /DL |

Passenger Yard Throat looking eastbound |
Description: |
From the other side of the bridge used in the previous photo. The bridge handles the Bucksport Branch traffic today. #167 in the 1952 photo was working the distant end of this yard just beyond the overpass in this scene. The Passenger Shed was behind the camera to the left. Calais Jct. is behind the trees about 1/2 mile away. /DL |

Freight Yard Throat |
Description: |
When this was two track it was often used as a switch lead for the freight yard just around the bend. There used to be several sidings in this area, one went in front of the SeaDog Brew Pub to the left. This view is looking time table west. /DL |

Waterworks |
Description: |
This contemporary scene looks eastbound just north of Eastern Maine Medical Center. The rear of the passenger train plowing through the flood waters was center frame in this scene 106 years earlier. It is nearly the same perspective of the 1904 postcard.... /DL |
