Addendum to Bill's Day 3 "Hot Times"

Here are a few photos from the trip that Billy described in his last post.

The first unit of note was the ex-BN "whiteface" #5078 attached to the remote caboose doing the chores in the yard. Obviously the nickname applies to only one end.

The ex-CR #2000 was sitting just a bit south on the road bridge with a train waiting to get into the yard (right).

It was 8569 in the MMA paint that we chased from Millinocket to S. Lagrange. Now that was pretty cool after years of chasing unrepainted power. Even locals don't get that all the time, so Billy brought us some luck. Unfortunately, with MMA's operations shrinking all the time with mill curtailments, the units that are retained and running will be seen more often since the odds of catching any one unit improve.

This first shot (left) of 8569 is well inside Millinocket yard. The next shot (right) is near the chip loader in S. Lagrange.

It's been fun to have Bill around for his annual Maine visit! He brought plenty of good luck with him as usual. Most of HAPT got the opportunity to hang out with him at some point and I sure enjoyed covering half the state to find these gems.
