Maine Eastern Railroad will quietly slip away into the annals of history, but it will not be forgotten by those who rode its rails along mid-coast Maine.
Joey Kelley is a writer, photographer, volunteer railroader and railfan from Brewer, Maine.
TOP: Maine Eastern FL9s No. 488 and No. 489 lead an eastbound passenger train under some ancient tell tales on September 21, 2006. LEFT: Maine Eastern No. 764 has stopped between runs at the station in Bath, Maine, offloading one group of passengers and picking up another on the last day of passenger operations, December 13, 2015. The bridge in the background carried U.S. Route 1 on the upper deck until it was replaced by a new span in 2000. BELOW: Maine Eastern GP9 No. 764 and FL9 No. 488 lead the next-to-last passenger train back towards Bath on December 13. JOEY KELLEY PHOTOS
