Album Info:This series was taken on a summer evening at the old MEC Station just off Main Street in Pittsfield. Just a few feet to the west of this vantage point was the east switch for the Y serving the Harmony Branch. The east leg of the Y and the old ROW are now a 4 wheeler trail. The light power is heading east towards Northern Maine Junction and the westbound, WA3 is the Waterville Local headed home with a string of olf B&M cement hoppers. Traffic speed was 10mph so there was plenty of time to get good photos, or bad depending on your perspective.... My own views on the quality of these photos is quite mixed.... Lo angle light is really nice when it is at the right angle.... /DL
