A GE 44 Ton and two Alco RS-3's idle away at the Maine Central engine house in Calais, Maine, just a few feet from the Canadian Border. Wx4 staff noted the facility from a Greyhound bus, and the kindly driver waited at the bus stop a couple of blocks away while staff ran down to the yard to grab this shot. Guilford Transportation abandoned the 133 mile branch that served the town in 1985. |

NEW 4-6-2023: Having spent many years running commuter engines, Wx4 Staff naturally has a soft spot for them. What in particular attracted us to B&A #312 certainly was not its debatable good looks, but rather what its appearance unequivocally imparts to the viewer: "I am a jackrabbit!" And a hand-bomber jackrabbit at that - Look at all of those scoop shovels on the rack.

On a lovely day in the spring of 1981, Eric Hiramaki caught CNW RS-32 hand-me-down #4249, an ex NYC/PC/Conrail unit, at New Ulm, Minnesota. Staff's extensive collection of RS-32 photos will appear on Wx4 in the future, but we don't know when. - Wx4 Collection
