A GE 44 Ton and two Alco RS-3's idle away at the Maine Central engine house in Calais, Maine, just a few feet from the Canadian Border. Wx4 staff noted the facility from a Greyhound bus, and the kindly driver waited at the bus stop a couple of blocks away while staff ran down to the yard to grab this shot. Guilford Transportation abandoned the 133 mile branch that served the town in 1985.
