Today's train of thought seems to have a little bit of everything- some New England Fall Color, 'classic' motive power, clear skies, branchline railroading and- fittingly enough a few days before Halloween- a graveyard.Here, railpictures.net contributor Brian P Bennett caught up with Guilford/Pan-Am local BK-1 as it makes its way south with light power. EMDs are trundling past the Riverview Cemetery in N. Bucksport, ME in October of 2007 enroute to do some work at Bucksport on a crisp day as the leaves are approaching their peak colors.
Lettered for Guilford/Maine Central, GP40 #381 has the honors today, followed by high-hood GP35 #212. The photographer has traced the lineage of the #381 as far back as 1969 when it was built as Seaboard Coast Line #1577. The trailing #212 is slightly older, being built in May 1964 for the Nickel Plate before their October 1964 merger with Norfolk & Western.
And to the best of my knowledge, none of the headstones in the Riverview Cemetery read 'Gage Creed'.
