It looks like Maine but it’s not. It’s actually MP 599 as measured from Mattawamkeag, Maine (a milepost convention implemented by Guilford). The Binghamton Pushers have just completed shoving a loaded Mt. Tom coal train up Belden Hill and the crew is using the line side call box to discuss instructions on the next move with the D&H Colonie South End Dispatcher. They would be sent back to Bevier St to assist a second NB. While NYSW operated the D&H during bankruptcy you could find just about anything running. These ex Missouri Pacific units, newly acquired by BAR, are logging their first miles under BAR ownership on lease to the D&H in pristine new paint. BAR 95 was MP 2006, MP 856, MP 576, built Oct 1966 SN 32672. MP 2006 was sold to Helm Financial in December 1987 and became BAR 95, BAR 363 under Iron Roads and sold to WATCO as WAMX 3827. BAR 97 was MP 2007 (2nd), MP 857 MP 577, built June 1967 SN 33174. MP 2007 was sold to Helm Financial in December 1987 and became BAR 97, BAR 364 under Iron Roads and sold to WATCO as WAMX 3822.
