Bangor & Aroostook in Connecticut |
| Description: |
Despite the Montreal, Maine & Atlantics attempt at covering the Bangor & Aroostook lettering, three years of sitting outdoors and rolling under limestone loaders on the Housatonic Railroad have done a decent job removing the patching on this ex-MMA, ex-BAR, nee-ATSF low hood Electro-Motive GP7u. Now with its heritage showing nearly in full, HRRC #22 works NX-11 on yet another run to switch the Minerals Technology lime plant in Canaan, Connecticut. |
