BA2 waiting to depart |
Description: |
MEC always used the old main line into Bucksport to tuck cars onto as they made up the train. Pan Am still does. Behind the camera the track now ends in about 200 feet away, years ago it went another 1/4 mile or so past the Bucksport station with a run around. In the 50s the morning train would run a baggage car with LCL freight down to the station then head back north (time table west) past St.Regis Paper to the turn table to turn the diesel locomotives. They did this all thru the 50s. /DL |

BA2 setting in the yard |
Description: |
The track in the foreground is the old team track. The track just in front of the waiting train used to have an old outside braced wood box car pushed into the dirt pile. It sat there for years and was used for trash and debris from around the yard. I dont' ever recall seeing it moved. |

BA2 in the park |
Description: |
Bucksport has a rich history as a working water front. The remains of ship ways and a ferry were lined up here 100 years ago. The waterfront park and walk are new in the past 5 years. The RR station was just around the next bend just out of sight. |
