Maine Eastern

After the Maine Coast gave up the former Maine Central Rockland Branch, Safe Handling took over, then the Maine Eastern ran it and occasionally a section of the former MEC Lower Road. The former MEC Rockland engine house was their only engine house so sometimes an engine was stored at Harding's (the Bath Iron Works Prep Plant).
