Maine Central Monday

   MEC Monday ~ At least on the AM shift it was pretty much all Maine Central Day.  We have had so many people stop by the display and tell us they used to work on MEC that I decided to bring in my MEC GP9 and run that and Tiny did better than that, he brought back his MEC No.  470 Passenger Train.   Here is a picture of the man who used to be the engineer on the real No. 470!   He is now 91 years young and he knows all about the famous engine that he used to operate.  He talked to Denneth Lee for at least half and hour.  He memory was great and he is very sharp indeed.  Denneth also brought in his son with him named Bill Lee who himself knows a whole lot about trains and Maine and NH railroads.  He is a member of the North Conway Railroad Club and Bill worked on the crew that helped flag the "Transformer Train" through Crawford Notch.
