Old Days on the Bath Branch
The Bath line relied on light engines for hill work though 16 cars burdened them. Repair shops included a machine shop blacksmith shop car shop and paint shop. The Hercules doubled track could haul six coaches or 12 freight cars while the City of Rockland was single track. A train alarm cord helped indicate breaks, and crews learned railroading from the ground up. The Knox and Lincoln line, later acquired by Maine Central, saw upgrades through 10 to 15 years of work and remains a strong track for heavy express trains.
