On the Wye         
With not much four axle power at Rigby, PORU had to take MEC 604 and MEC 380. Both units were facing east so they left their train at CPF-198, proceeded up to the wye and turned only MEC 380 so it would be facing west and trailing MEC 604. Here we see MEC 380 re-entering the mainline at CPF-197 in Portland ME, while MEC 604 was waiting on the west leg of the wye behind me out of frame. PORU would later make a power swap with RUPO in Lewiston.
