Arrival and unloading of ex-Acadia "Maroon Bells" "Planetarium" Domeliner

The "Maroon Bells" is ex-Missouri Pacific "Colorado Eagle" / #891, built in 1948 by Budd.

(This pic is first of six in series of the unloading.)

- Dining Car (ex-Atlantic Coast Lines #5936, built 1950) [not part of Acadian acquistion]
- Baggage Car (converted to Generator Car) (sorry: ex-Santa Fe, no build info at this time)



The entire train can be seen in photos taken by Ernie Hunt also on NERail.
