Frog Pond
Title:  Frog Pond
Description:  Rusty Rails at Bucksport. In the 50s MEC would drift down grade into town, cut off the freight cars on the tracks to the left then spot a baggage car at the station platform at the foot of Mechanic Street. The power then went back up to this end of the yard to turn on this table. This was done into the mid 50s. /DL
