Even though Autumn was just over a couple of weeks away, Summer was holding on tight and the air was still quite humid on September 3, 2011 along Montreal, Maine & Atlantic's Searsport Branch. A little later than usual out of Hermon, Maine this day, the lower angles of sun were beginning to show up in upper Prospect as #211 was finding its way through Waldo County. At a private gravel pit crossing near Spout Road, B23-7 2003 led sister GE 2000 and RC caboose VB-2 toward Searsport. A healthy slug of clay slurry tanks for Sprague is up front.
