MEC E7A #706 - Maine Central |
| Description: |
Maine Central #706 built by EMD in June of 1946 (bldr #3367) sits waiting at the North Station in Boston. Next to it is Boston & Maine #1564 with BM #1567 in the far distance next to the building. Interesting sidenote - MEC #705-711 had no dynamic brakes or steam generators and MEC #705-708 were a canceled Rock Island order, They were delivered to MEC still in Rock Island paint. MEC #705-709 were sold to the Kansas City Southern with #706 renumbered to KCS #7 on 10/17/63. Eventually KCS traded #7 to EMD on 9/2/68 and sit was crapped. unknown photographer. |

MEC E7A #706 - Maine Central |
| Description: |
Nice color slide taken by Gerald H. Landaue of Maine Central E7A #706 heading up the "Kennebec" passenger train The date on the slide is February, 1974 which is obviously incorrect for a number of reasons. Trees with leaves for one. This loco was sold to KCS and remumbered #7 in October of 1963 for reason #2. And most telling, the loco was scrapped in 1969. So, the date is approximate and based partly on the cars in the photo, mostly late 1950's models. |
