MEC 4-6-0 #409 - Maine Central (original photo)
Title:  MEC 4-6-0 #409 - Maine Central (original photo)
Description:  This is a b&w version of the original sepia photo posted in the album. No exact date, location or photographer was listed but it may very well have been either a builder's photo especially with the serial number on the rail under the front trucks or a MEC inventory photo.
