Remarks & Notes 
MEC's only RS-11's leading the Bucksport Job at South Orrington. I felt fortunate to catch the pair working together. My 1981 trip to Maine netted some cool stuff but I think I only went through about four rolls of 36 exposure Kodachrome in a week. After numerous trips to the west(mainly along BN or UP) this vacation lacked the big shooting days I'd become accustom to. I returned home disappointed and didn't go back. After 30 years though these slides have given me a different perspective and I'm glad I made the trip.
