Waiting for the Train         
C1905? Waiting for the train at Hancock Maine. This stop is on the route of the famed Bar Harbor Express. There were 18 miles on the Bar Harbor Branch. Washington Jct just west of here was at MP BH18. The Ferry Terminal at Mt. Desert Ferry was at MP BH7.5. Then last 7.5 miles on the line were handled by the MEC Ferry Service to the dock at Bar Harbor. This little station was near BH15. Back in The Day a lot of private varnish passed by this station. Once the passengers were deposited at the Ferry the private cars were taken back to Washington Jct where there was plenty of siding space for storage. /DL
