| Description: |
A cropped Post Card scene. The card is postmaked Oct 7th 1905 West Dresden, Me so the scene is 1905 or a bit earlier... Richmond is on the old MEC Lower Road between Brunswick & Augusta. This track is owned by the State of Maine today with no regular service although the State recently rehab’d the line and runs ocassional passenger specials over it. There has been talk of regular passenger service to Augusta. /DL |

Mile P52.8 |
| Description: |
South from S.Gardiner.... There are 3 box cars spotted in this scene from left to right the 1st is a READING, the second is PL&E and the third with the double door is NYC 77158.... It is difficult to make out on the origional but the signal box appears to be designated 528 which agrees with my track chart for MP 52.8. The whistle post would be for a private crossing at about MP 52.7. Beside the signal in the distance is a whistlel post. /DL |
