BML#51 seen here was one of the two 70-Ton GE locomotives that the BML bought new in 1946. Now retired, it is seen here by moonlight at the City Point Central Railroad Museum in a picture taken at about 1AM. Behind it are CPC#606 (ex-MEC#606), a restored wooden caboose built by the Maine Central in 1914, followed by MEC#656, a steel caboose built in the 1964. The CPC is a privately owned museum located at MP 2.16 on the 33-mile grade of the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad. The late 19th century City Point station house formerly served the MEC at Corinna, ME, on that road's Dover-Foxcroft branch.
