The Carleton Railway's photographer recently recorded some of the busy railway activity in Monticello, ME:
Locomotive #2492 pulls a wayfreight through town. In the background, it looks like a busy day at the West End Diner.
The caboose clears the crossing, allowing traffic to resume on Main Street.
The local switcher picks up a box car from one of the local industries.
The switcher moves the loaded box car across the grade crossing and into the yard.
A soon as the car clears the crossing, the crew will run into the diner for a quick snack.
Farmers are clearing out the last of the potato crop from the warehouses.
Just across the border in Aroostook Junction, NB, a string of BLR box cars have just arrived in the yard.

Well Dr. Steve, it seems you have lots of time for RR stuff now.
Great pics and story. Thanks for sharing!
First, congrats Dr. Steve,
now that is complete, will you have to get back to your normal life and spend less time visiting the Carleton Railway.
Doug
Yes hopefully life will be more "normal" now, with more time ni the basement with friends.
Sorry I missed your JMRI session Scott--I am hoping that I will have the time in the next year to do several new things on the railway, and JMRI is at the top of the list.
