Description

Other than date and location there is no info with this photo. An interesting scene though. If I've indexed myself properly the tree line in the distance is across the Penobscot River in Brewer. The tracks behind the tender are the main lines. To the left down grade is Bangor Yard and to the right is Northern Maine Jct. No number is evident on the focus of the scene a locomotive. Looks like a 4-3-0 ? Is it getting ready for the scrapper OR is it being shopped..?? Locomotive driver tires are stacked in the fore ground and the Round house is just visible in the upper right along with a telegraph pole. The source photo is not very good but the contents are worthy of study... /DL
