This old post card is postmaked Waterville Oct 27th 1909 and is addressed to Cannan, Maine. I wonder what the radius of that curve is. Sure is tight! I really like the switch tenders shack. How many switch tenders do you suppose Waterville Yard had back in those days? The building must be just a year or two old as all the trees are young and are all about the same size... /DL |

MEC 1204 |
| Description: |
I’ve ended up with two copies of this photograph over the years, one says it was taken at Portland the other in Waterville. If the October 1929 date is correct this was taken just a month before this locomotive was scrapped according to RR History. MEC had 4 of these 2-6-6-2s. I understand they were bought for helper service on the mountain division but did work elsewhere on the MEC most likely between Portland and Waterville. I don’t think they ever went to Bangor. Built by Alco at Schnectady it was formally B&M #1294 (renumbered to B&M 3003) built in November of 1910 and scrapped November of 1929. Builders number 48651. /DL |

MEC 1203 |
| Description: |
MEC had four of these Class X 2-6-6-2s all from the B&M and frequently used in helper service on the Mtn Division. Number 1203 was originally B&M #1293 (renumbered B&M 3002), built in November of 1910 by Alco-Schenectady. It only operated on the B&M for a year or so when it came to the MC in January of 1912. Of the four locomotives in this class it lasted the longest to be retired in 1935. This photograph apparently shows the engine on the dead line at Waterville. From the Vollrath Collection, used with permission. /DL |
