I love that little line. When I was a BB supervisor at Guilford, hi-railing over the river at Norridgewock gave me the creeps, as about every fifth tie was reliable and it was a long way down.

Look at the dip in the rail under the trailing truck on the lead engine?

If I remember correctly, there were at least two if not three different rail weights in that vicinity! A lot of the branch was 5mph before it went dormant. I can only guess what some of the Maine Central's old-timers think when they see this kind of track today!
