BAR 4-8-2 #108 - Bangor & Aroostook |
| Description: |
Although the photo is damaged near the pilot and front, it still shows an impressive 1935 Alco-Schenectady built small 4-8-2 Mountain type locomotive used by Bangoor & Aroostook. These relatively small Mountain type locos with small drivers were for low-speed freight hauling. The entire M class of 10 was retired between 1950-53 with BAR #108 being one of the last to meet up with the scrapper's torch in January of 1953. Specs - class M, 62" drivers, impressive 240 psi boiler pressure, 22.5x30" cylinders, engine weight of 317,490 lb, tractive effort of 49,972 lb. Date and location are unknown but it very well may be at the North Maine Junction yard near Hermon, ME as most 4-8-2's were serviced there. Unknown photographer. |

BAR H1 - Bangor & Aroostook |
| Description: |
Interesting caboose (called a "buggy" by Bangor & Aroostook) made from a former troop sleeper. One source mentions that these modified cabooses provided sleeping quarters for crew members especially in some of the remote northern areas that lacked accomodations. Thanks to an email from David Larrabee, the location has been corrected to Hermon, ME, where the BAR yards and roundhouse were located. |

BAR BL2 #54 - Bangor & Aroostook |
| Description: |
EMD built this BL2 model for the Bangor & Aroostook in April of 1949 although originally numbered 554 and wearing an all blue paint scheme. The repaint around 1980 is a sharper image. This car body styling is one of my minor favorite models - especially the Monon version. Unknown photographer took this as it sat at the North Maine Junction near Hermon, ME. |
