Downeast Desolation
Title:  Downeast Desolation
Description:  Although it has not seen a train since May 1985, much of the old Maine Central Calais branch (some of the easternmost rail mileage in the US) still looks like a time capsule of Downeast railroading from a bygone day. To have shot RS-2s at this spot in the 50s ...or GP-7s and RS-11s in the 70s!!!
