| Bingham Branch at Austin Junction at MP P119.18. Kineo would have been up the ROW thru the trees. Oakland is 40 odd miles behind the camera. The railroad, as the Somerset Railway, reached this point in 1890. It was extended to Moosehead Lake in 1906 and became the Kineo Branch of the MEC in 1911. The last passenger run was made in September of 1933 at which time the track was taken up north of Bingham and the Junction became a Jct in name only.
