Tie Plate Job Greenbush to Enfield |
| Description: |
In reviewing one of my Maine Central eBay acquisitions from years ago I came across this page. It is from a 3 ring binder with hand written notes from a track/MOW supervisor on a number of subjects. This page was of particular interest covering a 9 day period in October of 1946. It follows the manpower distribution across the assigned job categories for a 60 man track gang replacing tie plates over an 11 mile section of RR a few miles east of Bangor. They did about a mile a day. Back in these days I imagine they spent their nights on a work train parked on the Enfield Branch. It certainly would be interesting to see a crew like that in action today. I expect there was something like a dozen trains a day over that line in those days so the two flaggers were kept busy... Originally this track was part of the European and North American RR. It was built to 56" in 1871. It was leased to the MEC in 1882 and converted to standard gauge. It was later bought by the MEC and today is part of Pan Am. /DL |

The crossing box to the left marks the Hammett Rd crossing in Enfield as MP. 23.09. Two ST Kershaw cranes dig into piles dumped by the tie train and lay them alongside the track for the track crew following. |

Taken from the Rt 155 Xing looking westbound. Apparently there was a derailment just east of here a day or so earlier. I also caught this train in Pittsfield later in August. /DL |
