Northern ME. Junction Depot. 15
Image showing tracks crossing, where two railroad workers stand, with the yard, including the shops and roundhouse, of the Northern Maine Junction in the background. In the center distance is a tall water tower. Spare wheels for locomotives and cars can be seen on the right. The surroundings hint at the extensive infrastructure of this important railroad junction, completed in 1905, where the Maine Central, Bangor & Aroostook, and the Penobscot & Kennebec lines came together. [Note on envelope reads: "Yard & Diamond", suggesting the shape formed by the oblique rail crossing.]
