Title:
Maine Central engines idling in the Calais yard
Description:
Picture this; It's the mid-1970's, & in this version the Calais roundhouse stays open long after the shutdown of the real McCoy back in 1955/56. Maine Central RS-11 #802, GP-38 #260 idling, & a broke down Norfolk Western SD-35 at the (N scale) Calais yard down by the turntable. The crew of the 260 is getting ready to move the SD 35 onto the turntable, & into the roundhouse for 3 traction motor replacements. 260 is just waiting on 802 to clear the track, & head for the small yard in downtown to grab a 9 car consist of pulp, & take it over to the mill yard in Woodland. Thanks for watching! Maine Central Calais branch restoration project: http://www.downeastscenicrail.org
