A steam locomotive backs its freight train toward a trackside water tank — Belfast & Moosehead Lake No. 18, a former Boston & Maine 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler, backs its mixed freight toward the Burnham Junction, Maine, water tank for a drink before making the 33-mile run to Belfast, Maine, on Sept. 21, 1941. The last car on the train is an open-platform wood coach. Locomotive 18 was scrapped in 1945. Roger W. Grant photo, David P. Morgan Memorial Library collection
