M.C.R.R. Train, Farmington, Me 927

A well-dressed railroad employee stands facing the photographer, seemingly oblivious to the huge railroad engine slowly passing behind him, emitting a great plume of steam. The image catches the scene at a curved section of Maine Central Railroad track approaching the center of Farmington, Maine. Visible at the right is a switch where a branch or spur in the line heads off to the right. A signal is mounted atop a rickety looking wooden tower at the left center.
