I forgot this chat room existed, lol.
"Equipped to serve Maine . . . and The Nation"
MAINE CENTRAL
Completely useless fact: Maine Central had a relatively short-lived dedicated TOFC train called “The East Wind”. It ran from Rigby Yard in Portland Maine, to Bangor Maine. It had the designation A119 and came about as a result of the deregulation of the American Railroads in the 1980s. This allowed MEC to adjust haulage rates to be competitive with trucking. This special “Hotshot” train was headed by GP38s or U18B's and used flatcars converted from bulkhead pulpwood cars, or new-build TTX flatcars. This special train was discontinued shortly after Guilford Rail System took over, and TOFC service on the ex-MEC was dissolved along with it.

it’s a good day when this forum reactivates, AND when GP38 returns for like 2 seconds

Well, I suppose we should try to use this forum more often, so I'll give some food for thought. Have you all caught anything interesting lately?
