Viewing Album:  A too brief visit to the BAR
 
By:TS _Illinois
Dates:6/14/1984 - 6/15/1984
Album Info:In the Summer of 1984, I had the opportunity to make a whirlwind tour of the Northeast - somewhere I'd never been before. Among the stops included was a two-day window of opportunity to checkout Bangor and Aroostook's Searsport branch. Naturally, day one was dark and rainy. Things did improve, however, for day two. Here are a few photos from that far too short-lived experience.

BAR 84
Title:  BAR 84
Description:  I always thought this location was called Mt Waldo, but apparently this is Frankfurt (or just south) and that is Mt Waldo in the background. Took 28 years for me to figure that out.
