Maine Monday
Author: thebluecomet

Last week someone started a Maine Monday thread with a nice BAR image. I'll continue things with some images from 1976 & 1978.
First two are from a sunny October 4, 1976 day and shows the two Portland Terminal paint schemes. 1005 in the original colors.
Third image is from a foggy morning in 1978 as a unit works Rigby yard.

1006 at the now gone waterfront yard and GT interchange. The unit then heads back to Rigby with a single GTW boxcar along street trackage on Commercial Street in downtown Portland. October 4, 1976.

Amazing how "hip" this area is today!

pic 4: that tall pole looks like what's left of a 'highball' signal.

The Shop Truck Springs on Portland Terminal 1005 looked really crushed down.
