Pacific locomotive MEC 470 was the last steam locomotive to run on the Maine Central. She was retired in 1954 to a static display in Waterville, ME. New England Steam Corp has been fund raising to restore her to operation. An update on the progress was shown Saturday evening on "Bill Green's Maine" on WCSH, Ch6:
