Historic 53-ton freight locomotive hauled to Kennebunkport
A 53-ton electric freight locomotive once used in Ontario is being hoisted in two sections onto two flatbed trailers for transfer from Biddeford to the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport. The heavy load broke an axle when first placed on a single trailer, necessitating a second trailer for the chassis. Lester H. Stephenson Jr. and Thomas Brigham supervise the operation as the locomotive travels on its own wheels to the museum grounds.
