Another Locomotive Lost to the Torch
Posted by G Paine on Saturday, March 29, 2008 6:51 PM

This morning WCSH TV, Channel 6 reported that a Belfast & Moosehead RR 70 Tonner is being scrapped in Belfast ME. The photos are too low resolution to see the number. This is the link to the report:

click on Play Video for the TV report. The news man seems to be pleased that the "scrap iron" is being recycled. Sad [:(]Disapprove [V]

Search for it at http://photos.nerail.org/ . You'll see pretty ghostly pics of this loco as well as the remants of the B&ML yard in Maine. Kinda sad to see it go.
