If you were passing through Lincoln, NH in the rain today, you would ha
ve seen the whole place closed up without a single car in the parking lot. Great time to get a couple of photos! There was something in public view for the whole team, depending on their tastes.The first thing that greets you at the main road is the RDC's. The one's in the top photo caught my eye easily. The close one has the obvious tell-tale signs of being from the Reading. You can make out where the diamond logo used to be on the left front. The other in the distance had a B&O logo on the front, but I couldn't tell you if that is it's actual heritage. There is one floating around, I thought in the vicinity of Maryland.
Where I thought anything was supposed to be doesn't mean much.
The entire existing set of 3 Roger Williams RDC's cars were right there before my eyes. I thought they were in Connecticut! Sight for sore eyes for any New Haven fan like moi. It was kind of too bad the ends were face-to-face, but at least they were together. I can't get enough of those McGuiness logos!Finally, the 958. That unit shows up in my photos beginning in the 1970's. I caught it switching in Auburn back in the Maine Central days. Then, I caught it in Brunswick when the Maine Coast closed down. Several of us caught it later as it was being taken to Rigby by the Brunswick local. Now, I finally have my shot of it at it's new home. Life is now complete!
I started out with no other thought than to turn at Lincoln to drive
over the Kancomangus Highway on the way home from visiting relatives in Mass. I figured I'd swing by and see little. I don't mind being wrong this time. Now I guess I have to return.BC
